W. Riemer 1949 Journal 30 July Arizona, Apache Co, S Springerille to New Mexico, Socorro Co., Socorro. Wrote up notes in morning, 1300 hours left camp and drove to Socorro without stop on U.S. Hwy 60. Arrived at Socorro 1655 hours. Objective: contact C. Howe in hopes of replenishing formaldehyde supply and getting jeep to go into Sacramento Mts to search for P. hardii. Could not locate him and finally set up camp 11 miles S Socorro on creosote flat. Creosote stand almost pure, in bloom. No specimens seen on road in that 11 miles though dark, warm, and ideal in all obvious ways. 3 July New Mexico, Socorro Co., Socorro to N Mimbres, Grant Co., Returned to Socorro and spent most of morning looking for C. Howe. About noon discovered he must have left town just about the time we entered yesterday evening. Called my wife at noon on her birthday. Then on U.S. Hwy 85 drove S to Caballo and took State 180 into Mimbres Mts. Just over summit spent several hours in damp well-wooded canyon looking for salamanders. Conditions appeared ideal but could find nothing. Taking State 61 N again set up camp about 15 mi.
