"Look pictures! I & "
"Santa Barbara: white adobe"
"clean, very close, all painted"
"colors, pastel, look a"
"lively town-like."
maybe that style reflects a feeling of building as well as
a larger area. There are some really modern
small homes also tucked in - and the town has
more luxury items to offer than Jaena, due to the
activities at the Cusajona mine.
Above Huayguana the forest road ends, and
a ramptuous dirt road up to the mines begins. Un-
fortunately it turned dark so we missed some marvelous
scenery, I am sure. We had planned to fuel off the
road soon above the town, but there were no
pull-off places, and much traffic. The mine works
are enormous, and the road to them is about twice
as wide as an average street. There were two
areas frosted as "Villas" - we gather they are housing
developments. All with electricity lights, up the right.
Mostly Mercedes Trucks. We fueled off to the side of the
road after we had passed the mine development, and
I slept in the car, OP outside.

Wednesday
in Cusajona
Frost on OP's sleeping bag. Breakfasted by the side
of the road & headed uphill. Beautiful scenery in clear
morning air. But I started feeling too bad, so we came
down to the level where we slept last night
(about 11-12,000ft) and will stay here another night. Out
out about 12 snip traps - one in dry gully near
cap. Flushed a spinetail off a nest (only 1 egg in it)
in a bush in the gully. Mostly sat around - my more
grievous symptoms disappeared as soon as we dropped down
~ 2000 ft. Dissected and felled and enjoyed the going
