July 13 (cont.) Around 5pm we set 12 tomahawks singly
at Mile 4.2. We also opened the 12 traps on the
Upper Spring and the 6 on the lower Spring for an
hour, or two at about 8:30pm. But closed them early.

lifted all traps and after breakfast headed
to Truckee for supplies. By noon was heading
East on Hways 267, 28, 50 & 395 to Nevada. Headed
E. off Hwy 395 on Topaz Lane, Eastside ln., and Rinse
Rd. to search for Neotoma cinerea habitat (like
Smokie Cr., Washoe Co.) along Desert Cr. It looked
too dry (Pinyon/ Juniper) and I couldn't see
brushy-tails getting there, so we turned back
and headed S. on 395 to Bodie Rd. (Hwy 270).
About 3 miles E. of 395 we found some rockslide
with Aspen cover along Clearwater Cr. on S. side
of Hwy 270.
Clearwater Cr., 3mi. E. of Hwy 395, Mono Co., California
Sue and I set 20 Tomahawks baited with pea-
ut butter & oatmeal along by the creek beneath
aspen. Didn't see any fresh brushy-tail sign but
did see some old whitewash in places. We camped
in a turnabout on the N. side of Hwy 270.
