Coati, Blain 1973 Journal 5 mi. SE. Wendell, Lassen Co., Calif. sept 30 We followed Rt. 49 North to Loyalton Then cut E. to U.S. 395, finally auditing the Calif. Agri. Sur. Sta, despite the fact that I had a permit to collect samples in Nevada, I didn't want to argue with an over-zealous agent. We then drove to the north shore of Honey Lake, thanks to the road to Wendell, going SE along the East shore of the Lake. Once past Wendell we looked for likely sites. There were occasional pigeon flats on the left of the road, but the lake side was covered with Sarcobates. At the junction of the lodge entrance to the ammunition depot, we found a sandy area, with sage on the dunes. We set 33 Trops here and drove 1/2 mi' SE to an excavated site, setting 26 Trops here. The soil was more gravelly here, with sage (Artemesia tridentata) as the dominant. The night was overcast, not too windy, temperature about 40 °F. At 9:00 PM two army security officers came to investigate our lights.
