Greene, H. 1984 2 July Rising Lava Flow, San Bernardino Co., California Arrived here ~2:00 hr, having left Berkeley ~5 pm. Road hunted for ~30 min and saw 2 Phylloblynelus and 1 Crotalus cerastes; palpated a Dipodomyx out of the latter and pickled the snake and prey. Met Claudia Leike and Alexis Schuler, who arrived here several days earlier. They saw an Angora elegans on the road. 3 July Couldn't sleep because of the heat and flies, so I Got up ~0230 and went to Ludlow for ice, juice, etc. Saw a Phylloblynelus near the RR tracks at 0323 hr. Woke up ~0600, ate some melon, and checked out the mine shaft entrance of Rising Hilton for Crotalus mitchelli. Alexis has seen several times. The snake started rattling when I poked in rocks where she indicated, but it is deep in a crevice and I couldn't see it. Had breakfast in Ludlow & then to Granites. Down Camp Granite Mtns., San Bernardino Co., California Arrived here to write and relax in solitude for two days. Hot, but not as bad as at Rising - only ~95 F in shade here. Went to Baker for dinner, then road hunted back and forth on Kelbaker. At sundown I walked up a rocky slope 2.5 mi N. of Kelso, where a large mountain range sprouts down to the road from the W. Soon heard a rattling at my feet, and caught a famished looking little Crotalus mitchelli that was active in the rocks. It struck readily at my flashlight.
