Saw 3 wild mustangs grazing in the
small canyon before the turnoff of SR-39.
This road to the spring is VERY ROUGH
and could not take my Vega on it. Loaded
everything into Mike's truck and bombed
away. Arrived at the spring after dark
and, finding we had left 2 sets of poles back
with my car, set up one net!
Sam investigated the source of this creek

doubt it. In any event, we got 3
bats before closing the net at 10:30pm --
1 Pipistrellus, 1 Myotis californicus and 1 Myotis
volans. Mike fortunately pointed out
