29 6 August 1980 Titus Hollow Canyon, continued p.c. of muddy, mucky water about 8 inches in diameter. Trails leading to it indicate that large animals come to it. Whether or not they drink, I don't know. I cleaned out some of the muck, enlarging the amount of available water. A hand travel would have helped. If someone were to travel out most of the muck once a year, it might improve conditions for wildlife. But traveling must be done in such a way that some potential habitat is left for snaails, in case there are any here. I put camera number 1 here on 30 July. The camera framed the whole spring area and a small amount of the talus slope around it, plus some of the cliffs behind and the approach from the wash below. Perhaps it would have been better to put the camera right near the water, but I didn't know it was there until today. Hiked back to the truck, the last mile by flashlight. Darkness certainly changes one's perspective! 7 August 1980 Leadfield and Titus Canyon #202A Discovered Upper Leadfield Spring, which is on a hill E of Leadfield Road approx .5 miles E of leadfield; there is a convenient turnout on the road opposite the mine tunnel that is the closest to leadfield of the group of 3 tunnels indicated
