Buenos Aires 1980 Bariloche, Rio Negro, Argentina April 6. Easter. Camping in our apartment in Bariloche. Arrived April 4. Weather has been clear, no rain. Dinner with Mario Humbolt last night at Est. La Paloma. Today we drove to La Cipela to meet Miguel Velozano, who has been living for 3 weeks in a trailer there to maintain Perquese right to the land; La Cipela is along the Rio Limay about 2/3rd of the way to Coplervieja. Saw only 2 foxes squashed on the road, a handful of chimuregs, one big grey "eagle" sitting on a fencepost near one of the foxes. Poplars hardly started to turn in Bariloche but quite yellow along the Limay. The park guard (Mario Bojia) at Cullin Mangaro came to meet Velozano while we were there. He says there are lots of tucua-tucaas above Cullin Mangaro but doesn't know whether there are any across the Limay. Also, he saw a llama near our campsite at the mouth of the Rio Cullin Mangaro. Lots of mountain mice come up above Cullin Mangaro. The only ciperes along the Limay seem to be about halfway up the slopes. Humbolt says that Estanica Obcadores and a couple of others kept a few stud stags in a pasture, accessible to females though posts set too close together for the stags to squeeze through. April 7 Bariloche. Humbolt came to visit and brought bones from the carcass of Cuara Tropfel. We visited Palopostom the afternoon. He says it has been a very warm (and dry) autumn.
