P.V. Brylski 1981 Journal 17 Oct. 1.8 mi N, 0.7 mi E. Chilcoot, Plumas Co., Calif. 5360ft Bordering the rocky slope is a stream drainage occupied by aspens (Populus fremontii). After distributing Shermans among the students, I was left with only 10 for myself. These were set by Maria Alicia and myself bordering the road (1.8 mi N. Chilcoot) All told, 80 Shermans were set and an undetermined # of Mussera specials. 5:30pm After setting the traps we caravanned up the slope and set up camp along side the stream (more of a sleep actually). Maria Alicia and I hiked over parts of the rocky hillsides in search of Neotoma sign. We found none and therefore set no traps among the rocks & boulders. 9:30pm dinner time. Incidentally, on our way down the slope in the vehicles, a Dipodomyss appeared on the road - running in front of the car (driven by R. Ostfeld). I gunned out & chased him down - The chase lasted some 4 minutes. Finally he crouched still in the shade of the car (it was twilight). As I snatched him rather briskly, I believe he died of shock. 13:00pm We checked the lines & released a considerable # of P. maniculatus. On my line were 2 Dipos; ordii 1 panamintinus. 4 P. manic- ulatus were released. The Dipos were left to be retrieved in the morning. 1:30 am Finally hitting the pack.
