March 27 Today in the Chiricahuas at dusk - Limestone Mtn.
(continued) a huge, rocky sleeping hulh off to the north, no
snow on it. The central peaks, more wooded and
w/ snow down to ~7000'el., somehow all seemed
Oriental. And somehow in the cold gathering
dark Limestone Mtn. seemed alive - how many
bunnies and blacktails, bears and lions live
up there? Would the mountain die w/out them?
around midnight a ferocious dark storm
howls in, and when I stepped out on the
porch to pee I could smell wet dust in the wind.
March 28 This morning there is snow down to about 4000'el!
Cold, patches of clear sky, large clouds. Drove
to Tucson for lunch w/ Howard Fowler. Dinner w/
Wayne Maddison, Rob Robidoux and their families,
Start the two day trip back to Berkeley tomorrow.
April 5-7 White Mtn. Research Station, Inyo Co., California
attended a meetig of UC ecologists here w/
Wendy Roberts, and on the way stopped to ride
bikes on a dirt road north of Mono Lake.
Manager told me about a Pituophis melanoleucus
that got stuck in chicken wire and died.
