Hot lunch on the fire left by the llama
Train that spent last night at the spring.
The weather has not been very pleasant all
day - off and on cloudy and windy this morning,
and sitting in a mist-cloud this afternoon.
No Olythos bolivensis seen at the cord-shelter!
Could they be hibernating, or did we exterminate
them. Dave found a young hummingbird in the Brevitella
nest up in the cliff.
Condor flew overhead yesterday - no way.
Dave took the bus for Puno-Elora
this evening. He and I set up until 10 PM
around the yareta-tola fire. It wasn't
particularly cold. At 10 I went to bed, and
dave was going to sleep by the fire or something,
and be ready to run out when the bus came.
About 11 I heard bus noises approaching and
shouted to Dave, but he didn't answer and
I assumed he was out at the road ready
to flag it down. Wrong. He was asleep in
the tent. He did get the next of the convoy
of three buses, though - luckily, for
that was all the traffic on the road all
night.
Tuesday March 27, 1973. Ascacia camp.
BP and I slept late this morning at
the broke camp and drove out to recover
the ligant with the integrator inside him.
