AKP 1974 The scenery was magnificent along the road - rich land, but not many flocks visible. Seemed less crowded than up higher! At Maravini there was no gas for sale, so we helped and headed for Tacna anyway, hoping we could do some coasting or something to make it to Tarata. It was a cumulus - cloudy day, and beautiful country. We saw another band of vicuñas - small, but with several young - near an agricultural station of some sort (I don't think significantly related facts). Also on the Capaco japa we saw 4 rheas. They were sitting along the tola when we spotted their periscope-like heads. Stopped to take a picture at road-stop in Challapalca, and waved to Yanta cup as we drove by. Camped at Acequia Cop (lower one) in late afternoon, moving in on a wood-gathering family with a flock of sheep. We quickly spread out our wet tent and stood up the oven to dry our tissue blocks. The camp was its usual narrow site - little green plants carpeting the ground so the tent stays clean - clear skies, almost no wind. April 11, 1974. Spent a very pleasant night at the the Tacna moving went into reorganizing, washing traps, and packing things up to left in Tacna. Arrived in Tarata in late morning and got gas. (OP greeted the man in the corral) And then went to see Sophia. She
