15 Sept. (contd.) on the volans, just how poor the
key character was.
[Mike did mention that when John
Simmons was down ~3-4 weeks ago,
the Loganale Tadarida colony was at
full strength, so apparently it has
closed up. All that we collected appear
to be young of the year,]
Left Mike at SR-39 at 11PM and
drove up to Hilltop Camp Ground in
Kyle canyon to sleep. Was very windy
and very cold so decided to go back
and sleep in the desert. This would
be a very nice summer campground.
On the way down the car began acting
up - would not accept gas on acceleration,
and spattered violently. Pulling off, we
spent ~1.5 hrs searching w/ pen for the
cause. It was not a blocked exhaust
pipe and we decided it must be the
carborator. Sacked out on the side
of the road for a very uncomfortable
night.
