comped, without bro[redacted]s about 5 miles down the road from the mine to Barloche. Night clear, without, praisele, wind. may 5 morning clear, calm. Temp: 12° F. Also from no brakes, car wouldn't start. Used garofe and sun to warm motor, left about 11 A.M. no cars passed. stopped on the flats near Estancia Cordero to retrieve 3 two traps set yesterday: 1 sprung, 2 with lucos. Got brakes fixed in Barlocho; then in late afternoon went to Estancia Jones at the spit of the lake. They referred us to a small farm near Villa Augustura. Drove in that direction and camped in cyprus - mottlefogus about half-way there; aunt set about 25 traps by flashlight and I skimmed two. night partly clear, later overcast. may 6 min temp 33° F. Drove to the farm Are-sen-ecel 3 km east of Villa Augustura. They seemed surprised that no bats were under the eavesboards of an unused cabin. Droppings fell out when the owner beat on the boards with a hammer. asked around Villa Augustura for bats; then drove back to Barlocho, looking under the baks of big dead mottlefogus on the way. Checked into Hotel Amorequua, hunt tomorrow. may 7 Rain all night, not much wind. Went with Claudio Bionero and Isabel Carrola to the Club Andino camp across the highway from the Dolly Freg estancia. At the base of the cliff south of the swimming pool was a fine crawl-in cave with crickets - but no bats. Other caves nearly, even too shallow. Claudio reported seeing a v[redacted]ear here; he calls it an aridula. We saw zero colorado. He also describes a rock chimney on a rock outcrop on the ridge south of here
