Oct. 25 Stoddard Valley, San Bernardino Co., Calif.
area today with a report that
heavy rains this past week have
made deep gullies in the road to
Stoddard Well, as well as cover some
of the paved road from Barstow to
Lucerne Valley with dirt. She found
one of the Desert tortoises we
marked and released last May in
this area. It was 200-300 yards away
from the release point, and was
digging a burrow. The 1st scale to
the left of the head was the one
that was marked. This would make
it # 3 . No lizards were seen there.
Oct. 30 5 mi. W. of Glamis, Imperial Co., Calif.
Frankie Aubrey & I left UCR at
1955 for the Glamis area. We reached
the desired area at 2320 after a
trip of 170 miles. The area is 22.5 miles
from the eastern city limits of
Brawley and 17 miles beyond the Glamis
turn-off from the road to Holtville.
It is also 2 miles east of the divided
bridge over the All-American Canal.
During the night, the minimum temp.
recorded on the maximum-minimum
thermometer was 51°F.
Oct. 31 This morning we began work at 0900.
At this time the wind was from
the N.E. and ranged from 10-14 mph.
