Started and left comp at 10 a.m. to return
to Tarata to negotiate for a house, all day negotiating
... and meeting.
Left 7 more negotiating, then off to Taena to talk to the
owner of the house I am close; Sr. Daniel Sarala,
who turns out to be an aged man in a busy room
furnished with shiny vinyl furniture, black
velvet painting on the wall, a shiny porcelain
mule on the coffee table Buenedito.
Stopped at the Taena mercado etc, left it
5 p.m., crossed a couple of miles north in
Tillfordia desert, set one foto trap (tiny foto
croco everywhere) and about 25 museum
specials just before dark..
A Prof. Gran? and his wife, encountered
in the middle of the Tillordia at noon, on
a effort on Broncoloto, says this is the type
location of this Tillordia, but more are in
bloom.
Left 8 night cold, breeze from north. We are 3 mi N Taena.
The Tillordia, narrower leaved and tighter packed than
Bolfelia, are in very distinct crescents
diming south. Our campsite pitches down
slightly toward the south, but a mile to the South of me
the crescents still aim south uphill. Only the terminal
leaves are leaving, the older web branches are dead, no
"seedlings" here, or young ones, no buds or blossoms
