Thursday July 29
Tork up all our Traps
and left quite early for
Skull springs. Took a
road down the North side
of the mountain. Had luck
at a dry flat. Saw a
gray ground squirrel on its
south end of the hill at
about 4500 feet. Two
antelopes were seen from
Canyon just before our left
and another one a short
time afterward. Saw
a brush rabbit about
4500 feet
Friday July 30. Skull Springs
For some Eutamias. I think two
species & some pocket gophers.
Set out some traps for Perognatha
wandering b stop until the morning
from myotis in the evening.
This is the scene of a defeat of
a large band of Indeans whom
John McLaughlin says about
35 years ago but this probably longer
ago.
