Dave smelled a skunk again when he ran his trapline
while he left out. Skinner cat. This took until
about 1900. Ned saw a Sylvorlepus again in evening.
Got very windy about 1900. Set out 48 traps -
maily for Paragnathus on open gravelly slopes. Made
3 Neotoma sets - 1 big house filed in small abortive
mine shaft, + 2 others in clumps of shrubs with no
visible houses. No gopher sign seen in this
area at all. Ned set his traps about 1 mi NW of
camp & found some small foots in a canyon. Around
the foots were tracks which he took to be goat +
skunk. Watched for bats - smell canyon E
