I am familiar with the Granite Mts. field station too. We find a lot of good herps near there. I have stayed at neither though. I always keep my eyes open for the bighorns but have yet to see them near Zzyzx. The only ones I saw were on Hwy 40 doing 75mph and just happened to catch their silhouette at the skyline.<br /><br />BL: You got it. There was a hippie Neotoma up there too.JKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16614141904786915153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2024196009162417404.post-90017425964960318172012-05-03T19:53:12.574-07:002012-05-03T19:53:12.574-07:00I <3 this place!

There are actually a few other movies and documentaties (PBS and BBC) shot out here. There are MANY small mammals that inhabit this area. Also, when there is drought, the big-horn sheep come to the station for the reliable water and forage. Five years ago we saw them by the tens!<br /><br />One correction though, it is a California State University operated facility rather than the University of California (UC). UC runs the The Jack and Marilyn Sweeney Granite Mountains Desert Research Center on the east side of the MNP.<br /><br />@ Bay Laurel, if it is a woodie, then it is certainly Neotoma lepida. They love to set up middens in igneous rocks and cholla.<br /><br />Thanks for giving it a shot out!Christopher Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06151099773625000334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2024196009162417404.post-33623396307807728232012-05-03T13:50:20.376-07:002012-05-03T13:50:20.376-07:00PUMPED.PUMPED.christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17949844088996490968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2024196009162417404.post-67773875673249915932012-05-03T13:46:58.336-07:002012-05-03T13:46:58.336-07:00Nice series!
