Boulevard, 1942 Itinerary Apr. 2 Berglund Ranch, 1250 ft., 2 mi. NW. 1450 ft., 5 mi. N Corralitos, Santa Cruz Co., Calif. and the barometer was dropping rapidly. We decided that if we stayed here another night, we would probably be rained upon and that by moving on we might save a trap night. So we hurriedly dismantled camp, had everything inside the car within about an hour and a half, and departed at 6:20. Without my coyote droppings, without my habitat photos. Woe, the weather! Our journey into Watsonville cleared up some of our doubts as to locations. Tonight we are in the Giant Auto Court on the southern outskirts of Watsonville (Highway No. 1). It is a clean little cabin with front room, large kitchen, and bath for $250 a night. Only slightly disadvantageous in that it borders an oriental district. Apr. 3 Mud Creek, 800 ft., 3 1/2 mi. SW San Juan, Monterey Co., Calif. This morning we visited Mr. Hawbecker again at the post office in Watsonville to thank him again for his kindness and to pick up our mail. Mr. Hawbecker mentioned another point in Santa Cruz Co., Eagle Rock, at which he had tried to trap Dipodomys and was successful only in securing a tail. That was also cleared redwood land. The kangaroo rats there are probably D. venustus venustus.
