AKD 1973 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.
