J. F. Hoffmeister 1939 Itinerary Staywhile Spg, 5150 ft., Columbia Co., Wash. remaining 32 in a small meadow grown with grass in most places to a depth of 1/2 feet and wet and marshy underfoot. This spot apparently was being used by an elk as a bed and wallow, as both were evident, together with feces and trampled glass. Caught 7 specimens in these 56 traps; and 1 specimens in 3 rat traps set beneath the house. In the 20 traps along the trail, caught 2 Eutamias amoenus and 1 Peromyscus maniculatus ?; in the 4 traps in the smaller opening near the creek caught marshy 1 Neovius richardsonii ?; in the meadow, 1 Clethrionomys gapperi ?, 1 Zapus trinotatus ?, and 1 Mustela ecognanii ?. In the 3 rat traps beneath the house: caught 1 adult Peromyscus maniculatus ?. A sketch of the region I trapped in at Staywhile Spring, as designated above, follows: [Sketch showing Cabin, Shed, Trail, Creek, Camp Site, and Marshy Meadow]
