Greene, H. 1991 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.
