Mayhew 1960 Journal 4. Jan. 30 Glamis area, Imperial Co., Calif. what insects could be found there. The hummock was approximately 1'x2'x4'. Several kinds of beetles were found, as well as some sand crickets & 2 specimens of animals that looked like greatly enlarged sow bugs. We dug our soil sample. We left Glamis at 1315, after collecting a soil sample at Palm Springs, we camped at the entrance to UCR's Deep Canyon Station. We reached that spot at 1745. We went to bed at 2230. We drove 150 miles today. Maximum temp. today was 77°F., minimum temp. tonight was 46°F. Jan. 31 Idyllwild area, Riverside Co., Calif. We arose at 0800. After breakfast, we drove to Idyllwild to check on campsites for the field zoology class. We looked at Riverside County Park, which is a good possibility. We also looked at our lots in Pine Cove to see if we might be able to trap animals there. We tried to get to public camp grounds north of Pine Cove, but the cliff roads were to wet & icy to get through. We reached UCR at 1435 after driving 103 miles today. The total mileage for the trip was 674 miles. Mark's sleeping bag had been turned in to the San Bernardino police while we were gone.
