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.
