701 Coyote Peak - June 11 - (cont.) Mole burrows - one where I caught a female this morning. The ground has dried remarkably in the upper two feet - below which seems to be a hard pan with seepage water. At 5:30 Snurell & I drove 4 miles NE; back towards Martin's Ferry, at this spot, on top of a ridge, connected with South Tork ridge, in an assoc. of Chinguaquin, manzanita, azalea, & small thorny spruce. Set 35 traps. J.G. hunted. Clear night following a clear day. June 12, 1933 Visited my traps just thing in the morning & found nothing but Promyseus. Returned to camp about 9:30 AM. Skinned Behler's & Snurell's catch until 4:30 while they were scouting around Schoolhouse Peak. Clear day. Reset traps in Chinguaquin in evening & watered up per usual at Faulk. We have camped so far from water that it is impracticably to haul all our water by hand, so I get part in the car. Clear night ahead.
