cracks, rocks etc. that are available?
at 12:30 pm: cloudy bright, no shadows:
Schultze's thermometer in open: 19.6°
In 40 mm shell lying on ground 21.6°
Shallow sandy gravel (bulbs just buried) 22.4°
Under feet rock 21.0°
at 3:30 went back to Cuadroto the Cruz de Hueso
5 1/2 km. NE San Bartolo to camp overnight. Set 10 tension
spindle and 20 thermos along the arroyo (a puffer tree
about every 100 yards, 1 coña brava, fuchsia-like bushes, morning
glory, lantana?, etc.). mouse tracks in one place. Anita set
30 mm. open along the arroyo dies, and those 20°.
The valley floor seems to be of about 2 levels: a flat soft
eartly sand about 20 feet thick about 20 feet above a
hard mud flat into which some gulleys are cut. The
hard surface seems to be a series of mud flows a few
inches thick. In one place we could see the edges
of 3 successive flows. Some of the flows have & parallel
mud-cracks (not liquefied).
Went pocketlighting at dusk but saw only
4 huge moths; at [7:30] went around the hard
mud desert but not the soft, then at 7:30
went upon the soft central area to look for
gasoz. Found seven. Following temperature data
with Schultze's thermos (see right)
gasol-air (4.2°) just under surface;
