may - 9 Dick & Bruce & Jeannette Howard at the Trelew airport and drove out south to Puerto Madryn for the night. Then next morning out on the Peninsula Valley. Camped at Punta Norte near the elephant seal beach (also sea lions). Windy, no rain. Then drove south and camped [illegible] near the lighthouse at Punta Delgada on a cliff above a sea lion colony with young, bulls, mothers, etc. Windy, a few sprinkles. Then drove back to Trelew and up the Chubut Valley. Whist on the Peninsula saw a few perquins, a few guaroas, a few rhear, [illegible] tinamous. The vegetation on the south side of the Peninsula is much greasier, seems milder. Temperatures not cold. Camped at a muddy hilly spot where the road crosses the river. For Pleasure. Night windy, no rain. Then drove up through the gorge of the Rio Chubut, level in Paso de las Indias (plus flat tire). Numerous pairs of Dobluthia on the shoulders of the road between 9 and 10 a.m., also tinamoues, rhear, and guarooses. More than on Peninsula Valley. Vegetation pretty monotonous "sage brush" until Tecka, then a relatively level well-watered valley with lots of Chamorpas and laves, followed by other relatively lush valleys and beginning 1 move to Esquel where we spent the night. Spent the night in Esquel (rain) and drove to Jopo [illegible] and Travelin south. Charlie of Mora Mora knows, he refuted his statement that when he arrived 36 years ago then
