Befor losses
Oct. 8 Churchoone mdr, 4000 ft, Yosemite Valley. Brief
check here with a hard range 8:55-9:20 P.M.
along drible path bordering NE. under of meadow. Also
along fence and ditch SW of the Hotel grounds. Three
of us (Roberson, Hamilton, Me) found no tools out
neglected to take air temp. but estimated 55-60
degrees F.
Next a check of portion Stoneman Meadow- 9:30-
9:45 P.M. Hamilton and I found no tools but
heard a number of active mice in brush.
Oct. 22 Churchoone mdr. Anderson, Smith + John,
Burns, Kenzohn, and
I set out 75 snow-trogs here to make
partial survey of rodents. During course of
making the set (9:00-10:00 P.M.) I looked
carefully for tools as others did. No juvenals
founder under logs pond or elsewhere. Not a
tool seen. Air temp. was a cold 5.8° C.
a few inches above meadow grass. No
standing water but vegetation slightly damp
from ground fog and mist. Snufree tool activity
probably has ceased for this fall.
