D.A. Good 1982 Journal Mokins Bay Campground to Samowen Campground, Idaho, cont. 30 June (cont) A couple of people in Clarke Forks to talk to about local animals. We looked both of those up and the responses (paraphrased) were "I saw a lizard once while cutting hay" and "alligators?" The impression I get is that if we look really hard for several months around here, we might find one. Finding one in Idaho-Montana is a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence. After leaving Clarke Forks, we drove N on Hwy 200 to Samowen Campground, where we set up camp ca. 16.30. I spent some time turning logs in the woods around camp (largely red cedar and hemlock), but, as usual, I found nothing. We then (after I pickled the 3 snakes caught today) went swimming in Pend Orielle Lake. Then back to camp for the evening. I wouldn't want to give the impression of being discouraged about Cenurus collecting here, but: where are they?? I think, since we have spent almost 2 weeks in this area (Montana + Idaho) already, we will rather quickly move on to E. Washington and British Columbia and then down into W. Washington where they will be more common. If I can't find any in the eastern extension of their range, it's too bad, but it isn't as if I didn't try. Idaho Samowen Campground, Kamikau Natl Forest, to Beaver Lake Campground, Ohanogan Natl Forest, Washington 1 July Late start today due to rain. We finally got away at ca. 1030. Since it was raining pretty much all day, we didn't stop after. This was also because we saw very few likely spots. Our route followed Hwy 200 to Sandpoint, then W on US 2 to Newport, Washington where we took Wash. 21 W to
