1974 March 22 Iquitos Peru Friday We got our heavy material into plastic this morning, & zipped up as over which we left more or less at 70°C until 2 in the afternoon. It was rather dull waiting around for it, but when it was done we broke camp & headed for Iquitos. It was about 3PM when we got there, so things were rather quiet. We walked past Thunfer's office and could see him typing inside so we spoke to him through the window. We showed him the mouse skins he had pinned out and told him our plans to head for Atigripa. With a little scouting we found the supplies we needed and some ice for the chest, & headed up the road to Cuzipa. Drove until after 8 to get to the loma spot near (South?) Cananá where we had stopped last year. Rolled out our bags and collapsed. March 23 or Atigripa Saturday Breakfasted in the quite dry loma - when we saw no evidence of mice. Then driving through Cananá we were flagged down by a grannie girl who wanted a ride up the coast. The turned out to have helpful information, & was helpful charging the flat tire we got along a precipitous piece of highway. Also, when we got to Chala, where he was going to find another ride further north, he helped us get ice for the ice chest and got the tire repaired. He was a friendly guy, and seemed to be on cordial terms with everyone we passed.
