LIDICKER 1959 (April) cont.) because of a flat tire They were abundant here & as was & shot 3 [illegible] callosaurus small mammal sign. We continued S to San Felipe where we bought gas & had our tire fixed. Then we had a swim in el golfo. The weather was very hot. We took the sand road leading S of San Felipe around El Manuel. 3 mi. N rd. S of San Felipe we turned off on a side rd. to the west which is just S of a small hill with an old mine shaft in it. We explored the mine shaft but found nothing. We then continued .2 mi. down the side road where we camped on the north side of a gravelly & bouldery hill. From the hill it appears that our camp is opposite the southern edge of Puerto Diggo. I shot 1 Urea & 1 Cramidylora. We set out 89 traps including 16 on the rocky slope behind camp; rest on sandy desert. Small mammal sign abundant. Desert very sandy with Torguier (blooming, but no leaves), Larrea, Acaia, paloverde, etc. Ran trapline after dinner. Weather at night was warm, with almost no moonlight, clear.
