Boulevard, JT 1942 39 Itinerary Apr. 3 Mud Creek part of the Uhl Ranch leased by Henry Augustini. We set up camp about 4 PM. and shortly thereafter it started raining. We had overcast skies with intermittent showers all evening. We went out with our traps about 4:30 PM. After supper Mr. and Mrs. Silliman [illegible] appeared again. Mr. Silliman has obtained permission for us to camp at a private hunter's camping ground further up in the Gabriel Range. Apr. 4 Last night was warm and rainy. Heavy showers with occasional clearing. A strong wind from the west whipped the tent around, creating drafts rather. We had more drafts when we were forced to trench the tent to keep our bedding dry. Today, the rain continued in heavy showers. The sun came out only once or twice. Although we had planned to meet Mr. Silliman in Salinas early this afternoon, we decided to chance the weather tomorrow morning in order to avoid packing a wet tent. Last night we set out 134 Museum Special traps on the hill south of camp. We placed a line all the way around the hill on the edge of chaparral consisting largely of Artemisia californica and poison oak with some Baccharis, Lotus sp. and grass. Quite a few live oaks grew on the top of the hill above the chaparral. Traps set for woodrats (2 rat traps) yielded no catch. We completed our trapline by doubling back down the hill thru the Artemisia toward camp. This trap line yielded animals as follows: Peromyscus californiens, 4 (3♂, 1♀); P. maniculatus, 1 (♀, running);
