Pearson 1975 North Gulley, Dave Quennelager. Could recognize the yarata beds from the panorama photos, both here at in South Gulley, but none of them had nails in them. Either Carol mis-remembered or somebody stole all the nails. Tony Buscombe caught a cold Gecko under rocks. Drove up the hill to yarata camp, which looks just the same. Dry. Put out 16 large Sherman near camp, and looked over the yarata line. Breeze up canyon until 6 pm, then calm. nov.23 yarata camp, 13 km NE to cerca 4,500 m, night slightly bazy, but frost on car, clear at sunrise, but cloudy bright beginning about 7:30. Nothing in traps measured Carol's yarata. Couldn't find many of the ones marked with paint. Heard one batch of Triceratops at daybreak. Lots of traffic on the road, day and night, much of it Bolivian. Hunted for Cholojolea about 10:30, arrived at the lizard camps about 2 pm. Windy, some clouds. Saw 1 large male lizard out about 3 pm, and another under a rock at 4:30 too warm to catch. Also a female out at about 4:30. Put out about 20 museum specimens at 4:30, baited with rolled oats, around a couple of mini-circles and across the Festuca -Sefridophyllum, nov.24 AM cloudy, no frost, but plenty ice on rocks. Probably became more sunny, but always some clouds about. Hunted lizards for about 6 hrs. Saw one out as early as 7:30, but she went down never tried to chase
