Koford Journal 2 August 1963 Rio Apurimac, Dpt. Ayacucho, Peru. valley, so no view across Apurimac possible. Rough riding in truck, + all cargo badly masked. Frequent stops to deliver parcels, beer, sell newspapers, eggs, dried [illegible]s &c at Ayra. Morano, parota, later, when road we across Apurimac. Crossed edge river opposite Terente about 4:15 p.m. Crows on small dikes softs (2 sols each). My few 40 cedis (= $150). From Huanta, the Swiss paid 70, for 12½ hr. ride. / At Terente, no road comm., with Luisiana, so stayed overnight. This is part of La Union, a group of haciendas. A large cemetery room and seventy hithen available. / Heard Caprimulgus edge airstrip in evening. Slept at edge strip. No insects at night. Nearly full moon. 3 August 1963. alto - cumulus with light breeze, 0800. Waited for plane to go to Luisiana (4 hrs. fast bike). It arrived about 4 p.m. 4 August Resumed collecting at Avir valley in forest. Kaspole still at it too. 5? August 1963. Backland & Dembel parachuted to landing strip's area at about 1000'. It was last min. surprise to the rest of us that B. went, leaving me rather bewildered. At their level grows a meter tall, + flatter grass, just a boggy, so they decided airstrip impossible in terrain available. They as- cented many dirt trails & sign. About 50°/o wooded at that level, with epiphyte entires. Apparently very hard to move about on ground. Camps at head E. branch of Mantalo River (v.b. drained.) 8 August 1963. [illegible] Joernes & Peter Loh joined B & S. They plan to walk N. to higher ground of lake area. Flow will lay to Matayo & San Ponce to argue about areas. A copious notes + U.S.A. itinerary. 10 August 1963. Supposedly their walk starts today. Shotgun labels, funnel, went in traps, went in with Joernes & Loh. Hope to "mouselift" specimens out of higher country. Arrived 15g. 2 cars to go? AT a new H (cc) helicopter to take Kit
