1968
April 13 Squaw Valley, Calif to Reno, Nev., to White Mtns, Calif.
Mileage along the road from the Jet are as follows:
Fossil area 3 miles
Grandview campground 5
Sierra Viewpoint 8
Schulman Grove 10
The Patriarch 22
I drove to Schulman Grove & encountered only one patch of snow on the road (this was a big one - over a foot deep, 100 ft long & the width of the road). The following birds were seen at the da Live traps were set in the grove. Then I drove up the dirt road & though considerable snow & muddy roads to the top (almost- the VW Bus won't make the very last pitch) (10,800 ft.) of a mtn, which is dotted with small radio shacks & antennas. I set 20 traps under & around the shacks & also around trees a little lower on the slope. I left the area at dark & set a few 12 more traps at a lower shack & associated junk piles, then 8 more in sagebrush, then drove back to Grandview CG. for the night. It was considerably warmer at the G.G. than it was at the trap sites.
