Cute, Blair. 1973 Nov 9. Journal White Mtn. Res. Sta., Los Angeles Co., Calif. I gave my animals two cups of seed to sustain them, and left them. The animal room is on a 12 hr. light, 12 hr. dark cycle, so it is important you finish your work in there by 5:30 pm. The temperature is controlled at about 65-74° F and the humidity varies around 35%. 1974 April 3 Northridge, California, Los Angeles Co. Left Berkeley at 2:30 pm after loading the car in the morning. Drove south on I-5. Weather mild and clear. The sierras were visible to the east. Many orchards and wheat fields have been planted along the road, the grass shimmering in the light wind. A beautiful spring day in the San Joaquin Valley; water still stands in the pools, but along the Altamont Pass, the grass was already browning. This worries me for I may be too late to hit the beginning of reproduction in the Great Basin. I arrived in Northridge after 6½ hours, total distance 360 mi. April 4 I left this morning at 9:15 am for Los Angeles County Museum. Arrived at 9:45, to be confronted by their new security.
