22 May Xantusia vigilis, 2 Sceloporus magister,
(continued) and 1 Uta. I found a very large
scorpion under one log, and caught it.
Next drove to "Grasshopper Wash" - place
where Kristine Tollestrup and I found
Phymozona coronatum - and turned several
sheets of tin. By then it was dark (~2230)
and we rode hunted via Willow Springs Rd,
Oak Creek Rd, Hwy 14, Phillips Rd, dirt
roads E. of Neuralia Rd., and Neuralia Rd.
Got a nice large gravid (?) C. cerastes
w/ir 1/2 mile of where I got an even
larger gravid 2 years ago. Also 2
Phincheilus lecontei AOR, which seemed
to be actively crawling. Later I palpated
the Crotalus to see if her girth might
be due to food but couldn't feel
anything.
23 May After breakfast we headed for Pisgah
Crate, interrupted by a flat in
Barstow. First stopped at a black lava
flow a few miles W. of usual spot
(near Hector Rd exit from I-40). Saw
numerous Cnemidophorus, Uta, Callisaurus,
a few Uma, and a couple of Sauroides
also several Dipsozaurus and one
of a large Gopherus. Photographed
