"Date: [illegible] March 11 Journal N End little San Bernadino Mts, San Bernardino Cal. Coyote Flat Entrance to Joshua Tree National Monument. Stopped here and took off on Pacific Tel + Tel Rd. to a Radio Relay station but met a locked gate after 200yds. Hiked up the slope to the East and finally came out to a flat in the centre of this mountain system, a blockhouse was present with radios, jumper, scrub oak and sage of some sort. There are many flowers and a house at the south end of this flat - I don't know if there is currently a road up to it. There may be mickeys here but the soil looked too soft and the large trees too dense for good mickey habitat. I could go traps up the hill (Camistella) but decided not to set them due to the long distance from the car. The climb was quite exhausting, I left at 4:35 and got back to the car at 6:15. So I've completed my "survey" of possible sites, not found flower complexes irregular and not set out traps today. Hope Tomorrow will be better!
