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.
