We noted several woodrat nests in the area; nests were built of Cholla piles. 2000 - drove toward Mission Santo Domingo and set traps (100) in a sandy wash 2.4 km west of the mission. The vegetation was basically Artemisia tridentata with another dominant [some Ephedra] looking much like Artemisia californicus - although I know it's not. Somewhat shinier than A. californicus. The plants were rather lush and dense in places - fine sand in most places. 2030 we drove into town for dinner. Went to a "fancier" place and really paid
