LIDICKER 1974 Dec. 15 cont. About at midnight, I checked my wrist's dog. Dog I was closed down. Finally got to bed ~0030. Dec. 16 Up at 0700. Picked up truck.

The released most of the Paraguayas, I took both an auxiliary gas tank including two small double carbores. Then they headed for Los Angeles and San Diego respectively. We broke camp after processing some animals at about noon. We drove into Colonia Cardona in Trinidad Valley + filled one of our auxiliary gas tanks on the truck. They did not have "Permax Extra" so we settled for the four octane stuff. The road descends gradually from an canyon into Valle de la Trinidad. Much of the valley is agricultural now. The road E of town is being graded in preparation for paving. Our camp was almost devoid of birds. Peter thought he heard a Rhea + other is close. On the way into town we saw Mt.

The road climbs through some rugged land from mountains & then out on a large plain (Llano de Rodos). This plain is covered with scrub juniper trees. There are striking views of the Sierra Juarez & Sierra San Pedro Martir. About 30 mi. by rd from Col. Cardona, Peter saw a Moringa Dove - still in the
