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
