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.
