[[underlined]] Waycross to Chattahoochee [[/underlined]]

[[underlined]] April 17 [[/underlined]]

Tramped around Waycross but found no signs of Geomys or other mammals, so concluded to go on to Chattahoochee and stop.  Left Waycross at noon and reached Chattahoochee at 5 P.M.

There were no live oaks or Spanish Moss at Waycross, we saw the last of them somewhere near Jessup. Did not see either again till we reached Chattahoochee. Geomys hills were seen  occasionally on high ground from Jessup to Chattahoochee Are most numerous near Chattahoochee.

The country is slightly rolling, some of the hills are 20 feet high and one may be 40 feet high. Pine woods covers most of the way except scattering farms. We crossed the region that lies above 100 feet altitude

Most of the soil was sandy, some red sand & clay.

A warm day.

[[underlined]] April 18 [[/underlined]] Had to go 2 1/2 miles back along the R.R. to find Geomys hills, but found some fresh ones and set traps for them.

Loring set traps off south of town.
