We began collecting along the road
near Dale Dry Lake at 0800. The
sky was completely overcast, so I
was sure whether any lizards would
be out this morning or not. However,

within 10 minutes of our arrival in
the area. We collected in this location
until 1115, by which time all lizard
activity had ceased. Then we drove
to the top of Sheep Hole Pass and
looked for lizards until 1445.

NE of 29 Palms, where we collected
from 1500 to 1745. We spent the night
at Indian Cove, just west of 29 Palms.

started up Old Woman's Spring Road,
between Joshua Tree and Yucca Valley.
We collected along this road from
0730 to 1030. No lizards could be found
after this time, so we drove on to
Lucerne Valley. After lunch, we
searched for lizards throughout the
region from Lucerne Valley to
Hesperia without seeing any animals.
