26 June Carl Mikesell was born 1917 and lives in
(cpt.) a log cabin, which he showed off. Sleeps
on a cot in his lawn. Has an 11-year
old airedale named Sandy, that lost
both testicles in a fight w/ 3 coyotes.
Carl says Sandy's even braver now,
since he has nothing to lose. Carl hunts
arrowheads, which is how he runs
across the Phrynosoma and an occasional
"little firber rattler." I gave him
a nice intact arrowhead I found at
the uppermost site we visited, and he
said it "paid for the trip."
27 June Left Moab late morning, and saw a
very DOR Masticophis taeniatus 1/2 mi
N. of the entrance to Arches National
Park on Hwy 163. Arrived Provo ~4PM,
got "Motel 6" room, and headed for
a Phrynosoma locality suggested by
Wilmer Tanner. It is the first "lodge"
S. st W. of Saratoga, on the W. side of
Utah Lake and E. of Lake Mtns. Drove up
a dirt rd that turns W from Hwy 68
3.5 mi S. of its jet w/ Hwy 73. Most of this
area is a slope of the Lake Mtns, w/ thick
sagebrush and many fall ant nests.
