Since we had some light left, we worked a bit more piling rocks under the car + finally managed to get back on the road. By that time we were so dirty, tired and great-bitten that we decided to drive out and go to a motel for the night. By this time it was dark + there were large numbers of Lepus americanus on the road. The first motel we found was in New Denver. New Denver to Shuswap Provincial Park, British Columbia 3 July Drove all day today hoping to find good Cenberotus habitat. We found very little and since it rained almost all day, we didn't use the day very effectively. Our route was as follows: Hwy 6 N from New Denver to Vernon. From there we drove SW to Okanagan Landing where some animals had been collected in the 1930's. Unfortunately, a lot of housing development has gone in since then so we found no good areas.
