actual lake-bed on the extreme SW corner of the
(cont)
lake. We drove about 7 mi. further south on the
road then turned east and drove (off the road)
across an area of overgrazed land until we
encountered apparent native vegetation near the
floor of the valley (=0.7 mi. E of the road). (We
headed east exactly where the road is crossed by
a fence with a cattle-guard). We set 60
traps in this habitat (to be described later) and
then returned to the main road. We continued
about 7 mi. further S on the main road
until we encountered a sandy wash just to
the E of the road. I noted much rodent
activity and decided to make the 5th set of
60 traps here. We camped about 0.5 mi. W of
this locality (see 17 April) in the low hills of
the Caliente Range. About 1700 the wind began
to die. We played pipes shortly and retired
early - calm night - clear. ~40-45° F. low.
