5 2 April 1980 p2 "Cabin line" 14 Peromyscus released, 1 (295) kept because it was near death. 1 Neotoma, released; 3 Reithrodontomy released. 19/40 Margaret and I did a vegetation transect (Belted #2) through Triplex-Ambrosia-Larrea area outside the Scotty's Ranch fence, than I put in a trap line of 40 Shermanes baited with peanut butter flavored oats, more-or-less along her transect line. That's all the traps we got out today; do to the hassle of a trip to Fernale Creek to get ice, the discovery that they were sold out (& all campgrounds full) then a trip to Beatty to finally get ice. The dry ice isn't holding up as well as I had hoped. Got back at 7 PM. { I misguessed with my specimen numbering, todays #283 should be #286 and so on, add "3" to each number above to get correct specimen number} 3 April 1980 Scotty's Ranch Area, Desert, Triplex-Ambrosia-Larrea Bottling hordes of rapacious NO-SEE-Ums, I picked up 40 traps at 7:40 - 8:20 A.M.

Working our way back, we stopped at 4 places and set traps
