(Mar. 31 cont.)
Borrego + Borrego Springs camp ground looking for
Marler & party. We find their trailer, but not them,
so we left & returned to Borrego, then we
took the rd. SE out of Borrego down the valley.
At the jet with Calif 78 we turned W toward
San Felipe Narrows. About 1 1/2 mi. W of jet. we
noticed that the hills directly to the S might
support merriami. 5 1/2 mi. W of jet. however, we
could see another small valley to the south
(prob. behind Pond Granite Hill) & beyond this to the
south were tall pines which seemed to have
forested tops. The Narrows themselves did not
seem to represent an effective barrier to
merriami. So was 9.1 mi. from jet. with 78 to
jet. with Yaguri Pass Rd. on W side of Narrows.
We turned down the dirt rd. to Yaguri Well &
went 2/10 mi. beyond Yaguri Well & camped.
We set out 70 traps in the surrounding washes
& on the gravelly hillsides. Rained -little- during
night & was also quite windy.
