[[strikethrough]] [[underline]] Aug. 31 [[/underline]] [[/strikethrough]] - lost a day somewhere.

[[underline]] Sept. 1 [[/underline]]. Left Las Vegas after noon & camped 12 miles north at ponds on mesa a few miles south of Sapello at 7200 feet on east slope. To the east is open plains with small basin ponds, to the west rough ridges rise with stream valleys cutting canyons through them to the plain. The ridges are mainly Transition covered with yellow pine & Quercus gambeli while Douglas spruce & Abies concolor grow in the gulches. Our camp is as nearly as possible at edge of Upper Sonoran & Transition zones.

[[underline]] Sept. 2 [[/underline]]. Moved camp down nearer to the pond & found good spring water in the canyon half a mile up. Set a lot of traps, hunted & wrote.

[[underline]] Sept. 3 [[/underline]]. Caught Onychomys & S.13lineatus pallidus & Peromyscus. 
Broke camp early & moved north through Sapello and camped near head of creek about 5 miles S.E. of Penasco Blanco in the yellow pines at 7200 feet. Came 8 or 10 miles.
