Boulware, JT 1941 May 16 Party of five, led by Mrs. Hilda W. Grinnell, including Josephine Crowley, Viola Memmler, Frances Bracke, and myself. Invaluable assistance of Dr. David Johnson first two days of trip. Left Berkeley at 7:10 AM, Mr. Johnson transporting most of supplies and equipment in the old museum Rio; rest of party traveling in Mrs. Grinnell's automobile. Drove via San Rafael ferry north along Highway 101 to Cloverdale. Then took Highway 28 up among redwoods, missing an intended stop at Dimmick Memorial Park due to lack of signs marking its location. Ate lunch near the cars about a mile east of the coast. Here we saw a pair of red-tailed hawks circling about and a few vultures again. Vultures seen in two's and three's along Navarro River. Proceeded to Van Damme Beach which appeared to have a CCC camp. After a brief survey traveled on north to Russian Ruler State Park, arriving about 3 PM. Received permission from Ranger Engelhardt to camp and to trap rodents, amphibians, and reptiles and to collect flowers. Camped about quarter of mile east of the ranger cabin where stove and table facilities were available. Dave, Viola, Fran, & Josephine set out 31 traps near dusk. I wiped dishes. May 17 Started raining during night and was still drizzling this morning. Picked up traps about 5:30 AM where set along edge of small meadowy spots in
