Arrowhead Water, San Bernardino Co., California
Stopped here for x 30 minutes at x 1400h,
where the flow is adjacent to Natl. Trails Hwy.
Saw 2 Sauromalus, 3 Dipsosaurus, and
1 black B Uta. Both here and at Pisgah
saw numerous fresh chunks of lava, evidently
crowbarred off by chuckwalla hunters. Got a
room at Motel 6 in Indio, then drove to the
large isolated rocky hill E of Calvilla Co. Park,
at the end of Jefferson Street. Spent x 1h at
x 1730h here - very windy - saw nothing,
ate dinner in Indio, and since park sign
at 1945h said 64°F and it was very windy,
we decided not to road hunt tonight.

Came here after breakfast and hunted lizards x 0900-

chilly and extremely windy. Saw a few Uta down
low and several Cnemidophorus on the flats by
Snow Creek Village. Up on the boulders saw several
Petrosaurus and noosed them w/out difficulty,
but saw few Sceloporus orcutti and they were
very wary.
