30 July 1980, Titanothere Canyon.
Left the cool pines of Plumbey Mine to head
for the sweltering depths of Titanothere Canyon
to put time lapse movie cameras at
springs. Put one camera at Fern Spring
#200 and another at rock pools about
50 ft up canyon. Bottle springs showed
evidence of Big Horn activity. Put a
camera at Lostman Spring #199
which had no obvious water but
had steep trails. Hiked back to truck
and collapsed. Hot weather, frog like.
31 July 1980, Leadfield and Titus Canyon
Checked spring 201 which has dense
vegetation and a 1 ft x 2 ft patch of slightly
damp earth under a boulder overhang.
Checked mine tunnels near road SE
of Leadfield (1/2 mile of Leadfield, 4400 Ft)
for bats, found 4 Myotis sp.
hanging singly in tiny crevices in tunnels
(#336,337,338,339) also saw a larger bat
with larger ears but it got away.
Only one of the tunnels had more than
one bat. Hiked in search of spring
2088 but took a wrong turn and
did not go up Titus Canyon, rather we
went up the canyon that comes
into Titus from the NW. Heavy hiking
in hot weather. Gave up when we
discovered what we had done.
