AKP 1973 spent the last week between Challapalca and Copago. I guess no one has ever chosen that spot for a vacation before. We did manage to get bread in Copago, plus some enormous onions, etc., but couldn't get kerosene and forgot sugar. So we are being inventive. Arrived at Yantra Camp in the early afternoon, and were happy to find it sunny and warm. Set out a line of 25 small Sherman traps, using oatmeal bait. Saw very little mouse droppings. Found a watermelon rind we had abandoned here 12 days ago. It had a mouse dropping on it, but I didn't see gnawing marks. My traps are partly below the road, mostly coming back to camp from the road. Started raining - hailin' around 5 so we cooked supper in the tent (although OP was struggling to get a yantra fire going). After supper it cleared, however, and we sat around the yantra fire and tried to dry out OP's coat a little. Sunday March 25, Yantra Camp Rolled out to pick up the mice in my lines (it was a 26" last night) - 3 Akodon and 4 Phyllotis. There were Darwinis calling as I went around the line, and as I got back home
