at 5pm put traps down the valley again at 2 min
SW Carfelo, 13,300 ft., hoping to get Lh. darwini,
but belated is still somewhat fresh. I put 18
big Sherman along stone walls, Roy put 21 small
Shermans in a big talus, and Miguel put 15 in
a rocky gulch - anta about 10 around camp.

might cold clear, at 6 am about -5°C. walking in
carol's live (a re-trail of Roy's guide) although 3 US stolen

and in Roy's talus: 4 postcristis and 4 Colomys scullus.
