Journal Haher, M-S. 1977 6.0 17.0 3-0 km. S 15.5 km. E Valle de la Trinidad, 980 910 m, Baja California, Mexico. 4 July (cont) goats through the area. They, of course, knew nothing of our missing traps. John scouted around for awhile and found the traps about 1/4 mi. away stashed neatly inside the leaves of an agave. I later found 3 traps also stashed away [to be picked-up later]. In total we lost only 2 traps - very lucky. All day long, people with goat herds passed through the area. After capturing 4 Spermophilus tereticaudus and 2 A. leucurus we pulled all the sherman traps to avoid further loss. (1300). Today was especially hot - no cloud cover as yesterday. We worked the Mcabee traps all day with little success. John captured 2 gophers alive which were kept for kanotyping later. 1800 we put-up the gophers we had captured yesterday and this AM. We then set out more McAbee's and drove into town for water and beer. 2100 retired after setting out 20 sherman trap; it a rather weak effort to capture an Onychomys we heard calling. Sounded rather unlike the Onyx I'm used it [illegible]. Cold night, but not as wet as last night.
