Mayhew 1959 Journal 12. Jan. 30 Mojave Desert, San Bernardino Co., Calif. time in the afternoon, no Ume scoparia were seen. We returned to the road from Cadiz to Rice, and followed it south until it joined the paved road that runs from Rice to Desert Center. We stopped at the end of this dirt road (which had been pretty bad, but passable) and cooked supper as it was getting dark. We then drove to Desert Center, where we bought some white gas at the Chevron station, then proceeded to Riverside via Indio. We reached UCR at 2140, after driving 307 miles today, and 675 miles on the entire trip. Feb. 2 Colorado Desert, Riverside & Imperial Gs., Calif. Frank Aubrey & I left UCR this morning at 0815. We drove east on high- way 60 to Garnet, then along the old highway to Granddaddy Dune. Frank saw a Ume from the car, but we could find no trace of it when we reached the spot. No tracks were evident, indicating these animals still are not very active at this location. We then drove to Lloyd Tevis' place in Rancho Mirage & loaded some sand for Jav Newell. Next we proceeded to Palm Desert to see if plainspyles had returned to Deep Canyon area.
