Hafner, Ms. 1976 Journal En Route, Southern New Mexico. 23 August (cont) South on Hwy 285. Drove South through Pecos, Texas then turned SW on Hwy 80. Drove on to Kent where we turned S on Hwy 118. 2400 Camped alongside the road in Upper Limpia Canyon - Nice evening - slightly cool much dew. Noted several deer (with at least 4-point racks) along Hwy 118. Davis Mtns, ca. 13 mi. NE Ft Davis, Jeff Davis Co, Texas 24 August 0700 arose and drove to Hwy 17. We referred to Reichman and Baker (1972) for gopher localities - we decided that the best area for trapping was north of "zone of contact" that R and B were working on. We drove about 2 miles past their contact zone and set out ca. 15 sets apiece on the slopes near Limpia creek (see map) to the immediate E of Hwy 17. We processed blood and tissue alongside the road and by 1400 had 22 Thomomys and 1 Pappogeomys John caught the Pappogeomys ca. 1/4 mi from the creek (on the W side). Very hot afternoon - we departed this locality (1500) after washing-up in the creek and drove north to Balmohea. We refueled in Balmohea.
