SFBATS/SCABIES 2008 CA Camping Trip!?scabies wants to do some camping trips*i* want to camp where we can catch Calisoga longitarus... which means heading to northern CA it seems like scabies and the bats should take the opportunity to do a joint event! i am still researching the range of C. longitarus and what camp areas would not present legal hiccups for collecting. tentatively... Spring 2008? i think there is a pretty big meeting in central CA once a year... if it is in spring maybe we could make *our* camping trip temporally adjacent to that central CA thing and do both? check out the scabies forum's thread for the latest info http://scabies.myfreeforum.org/about211.html check out this thread for pic links and info about C. longi' http://scabies.myfreeforum.org/about132.html |

What about Joshua Tree down near Nevada? Aside from the sky falling down, I'm sure we'd find tons of inverts, it is the middle of the desert! |

FYI You have to call ahead and get a guide for the Buttes. It is COMPLETELY fenced by private property and government and they're pretty damn active out there too. My bf and I headed up there to camp and discovered all this after a 3 hour drive. Too busy to trespass before dark too although they do look AMAZING. |
