were in bloom here.

We left the Coachella Canal at 1635.
Dale Dry Lake area, San Bernardino Co., Calif.
We arrived at Dale Dry Lake at 2025,
after driving 172 miles today. I drove
off the dirt road at our campsite, so
we had to dig until 2200 to get out
of the sand. The minimum temp tonight
was 52°F.
Oct. 16
We awoke at 0800. We checked the two
traps near our campsite. A young Arizona
elegans was in one trap along with
numerous beetles. Nothing but beetles
were in the other trap. We looked for
lizards from 0930 to 1345. The weather
was quite cool (maximum temp. today
was 77°F.) & overcast much of the day,
so relatively few adult Uma scoparia
were seen. Four adults were caught &
about 3 or 4 others were seen, & that's all.
Lots of young Uma scoparia were seen,
however. The first young Uma was seen
at 0940, but no other ones were seen
