We made camp last evening.
The camp is beside one of the large canals
flowing from the Alamo. Around us
there is a series of cotton fields, dented
and partially flooded in places.
There is a large pond or reservoir
nearby surrounded by tules and
containing many mud hens & ducks.
The only road to this place run
on top of the levee for miles.
I set out one still set last
night baited with a rotten orange
but nothing was caught.
I set out 10 rat traps on the edge
of some tules in mud.
I shot two Mask Rats but
only one had a fairly good
skull.
