Mira Loma, Riverside Co., Calif.
are just across the line in San
Bernardino Co. Dune #1 occurs almost
on the county line like #2. There
seems to be an awful lot of
traffic on the roads past dunes #
1, 2, and 4, but very little past #3.
April 5
Gran Desierto Trip, Sonora, Mexico
Pete Allen, Herb Brown, Dennis
Miller & I left UCR at 1120 to
collect as many Phrynosoma m'calli as
we could find for an experiment I want
to set up. We drove first to the
Algodones Dunes west of Elamio.
We reached the Highline Canal at 1445
and made one rapid pass between the
canals. We saw 3 DOR P. m'calli,
but no live ones. The only live lizards
we saw on that stretch of road were
3 Callisaurus draconoides. We began
walking in the dunes at 1515, looking
for Uroa notata & Urosaurus graciosa.
Between then and 1735 we captured 3
Urosaurus (only one we saw) and 34
Uroa. Then we drove into Arizona &
camped about 2 miles north of the
Mexican border at San Luis. We
drove 266 miles today.
April 6
We arose at 0715 and ate breakfast.
We crossed the border at San Luis
