Greene, H. 1993 August 7 (continued) c around a fallen juniper snag under a brush, x 75 m NE Pole 1, x 30 m NE of the "slate-green" outcrop that is NE Pole 1. I climb the ridge and the sun breaks out. At 0910h I find C. moloros F #14 facing E. in a loose coil under a red boulder ledge on the ledge of the ridge, x 35 m NW of last site. She was in dappled sun and didn't not move while I shot photos - couldn't see tail or posterior of body. Met John Groves (North Carolina Zoo) at the pullout and we tracked the signal of C. moloros F #12 to a rock pile under an capare (the 1st) x 75m E. of the pullout on the S. edge of the road, slightly SE of pole #1. John and I were racing to localize her because rain was starting and the lighting was disturbingly close. Spent the afternoon preparing to leave, as I learned yesterday I must be in Berkeley Monday night to prepare for an NSF Site Visit on Wednesday. So, I will attend the SWRS Advisory Council meeting tomorrow AM and then leave for California. Periodic storms this afternoon - I am leaving just as the monsoons are really getting going! Tremendous thunder storms periodically in the afternoon and
