came to Canachara there were several hundred alpacas and llamas scattered across the valley - and sheep! Moreover a couple of little casas were built just up the wall, from our old caps, and this made the whole scene rather unnatural. The sky was threatening & I had a bad case of sore feet, so we planned one way back at the road until a kilometer or so from the turn, and made camp there. Bajie set traps, while I took it easy, and when dark came the hail started. April 6, 1974 Saturday Heard Junantius on all sides of us this morning. There was lots of snow and hail on the ground, Mr. Canachara so I went out looking for tracks while Bajie checked his line. Very few tracks - one iracaiba, and a couple of shot more excursion up among the rocks. I set out a line of about 20 large Sherms late in the morning - it was really quite pleasant although it was still snowing etc. Finally got some sunshine about 2 in the afternoon, and the snow rapidly disappeared. I have been watching a little Galiapogobolivia running among the clumps of Lagenophylla in front of our tent. Got up at midnight to check lines - nothing in mine. More snow all through the night. April 7, 1974 Sunday Nothing in 20 Sherms. Did some tracking and put out 10 traps near large boulder outcropping on basis of tracks. Also took about 30 foldy Sherm and extended the line southwards along the ridge. I thought it really looked good - lots of droppings + [illegible] Ahaolon [illegible] dining while I [illegible] tracking
