Koford 30 Journal 16 November 1968 NW of Chihuahua, Mexico Majalco Departs 0600 from Chihuahua in Musquiz jeep. Draw N. to Majalco road, then on bad road to W. Stopped at Cumbre de Majalco Sangreza, a National Park. Many private sierras houses built there. A small town of ugly adobes in poor repair. Apple orchards and livestock in some places. Some rock formations painted up with furniture. This was piñon-juniper zone, with blocky rock formations, and said to be very popular in summer. The ranch was 14 miles W. of this. Arrived about 1030. Ranch in oaks - juniper - yellow pine, oak-yucca - Bouteloua hilly zone and comprised about 9000 hectares. Fine rock formations. About 500 head cattle. Perhaps 1/8 acres in oats, the rest arable grain. Found four deer traces, but Musquiz plans to fence about 3500 acres with 7 deep deer-proof fence and import some whitetails to stock it. Fence not really started except posts cut. Several large grazers make good water holes in canyons. We drove jeep road up and down across north but saw no deer, quail, or turkeys— all scarce; a last puma absent. If M. can develop wildlife through habitat improvement, it would be good demonstration area. [Majalco] [This place about 25 mi. WSW of La Porrita] an old hunter at Sangreza said some rather tame black bears there, but no grizzlies. He thought there were some in Sierra del Nido to N. Then he told of a hunter logging a "tigre," with spots, in this region; he had seen photos of it. He said he had killed about 25 bears in his lifetime. (Hmmm!) (Shelley, Croke no.) In evening, squealed in a Urocoya or which Dr. Gilbert shot; prairie falcon. 17 November 1968. Sunday. Saw 10+ ducks, probably diving and mallard, on pond 1/2 mile S. of ranch house. Kingfisher flew over. Chipmunks still active. Walked talked, and in p.m. drove back to Chihuahua; about 40 km.
