Itinerary
July 28 13 mi. N Goldfield, 5100 ft., Esmeralda Co., Nevada
We camped on a sandy flat on which were many small pebbles, up to two inches in diameter. The entire area was flat and covered with a small thorny brush possibly hop sage. The plants were scattered widely, probably one brush for every 20 square feet. We arrived after dark and set our traps out. I put out 50 mouse traps in a straight line, one every twenty paces. My catch was 2♀ Dipodomys microps, 1♂ Bex Dipodomys deserti, 4♂ Perognathus longimembris, 3♂ Perognathus longimembris. We ate breakfast and left immediately. At noon we drove to West side of Stonewall Mountain 6000 ft., Nye Co., Nevada and hunted chipmunks. I didn't get any, but 3 Eutamias panamintinus were gotten by other members of the group. We drove in to Beatty and then drove back up to 3½ mi. E and 1½ mi. S Grapevine Peak, 6700 feet Nye Co., Nevada where we pitched camp.
