Journal
14 July (cont')
Vicinity Mt Rainier to Green River Gorge, Washington (cont')
might in a campground just S of the bridge. We spent a
couple of hours down in the bottom of the gorge turning
rocks (we had information concerning the presence of Genbrontus
there from JR Slater through [Kristine Tollestrup]). We found
nothing, although this could easily have been the result
of poor weather conditions: it was intermittently raining and
quite cool.
Green River Gorge to Morton, Washington
15 July This journal entry was written on 16 July. We got up
fairly early - in the rain. The entire day was very cold
with intermittent showers. We drove first to Tacoma to
check out a Chambers Creek locality Dr. Slater had given
us. We found 6 Thamnophis (several others escaped)
in a brushy area full of junk, boards, etc. Meg + Toni each
saw (and failed to capture) a Genbrontus. I saw none.
About 1200 we decided to try our luck at some of the
published localities to the south along Hwy 7. We drove
down Hwy 7 as far as Morton where, since it was raining
very hard almost constantly, we decided to stop at a motel
by mid-afternoon. We spent the rest of the day doing
laundry, etc.
Morton to Paradise Point State Park, Washington
16 July We left the motel in Morton ca. 0900 and drove N on 7
to some localities we had seen on the way down yesterday.
We stopped at several logged over areas and turned logo.
