Pearson - 1994 10 the son is helping Andres. Novaro says that European rabbits arrived at Junin de los Andes about 2 years ago, that the authorities have been using myxo on them for years farther north, and that hares have been in reduced numbers in recent years. We saw 3 or 4 dead hares? on the road this morning between our campsite and Junin de los Andes. The Centro is supported mostly by Japanese who are interested in trout. Walker and Novaro and baby are leaving for Gainesville in a few days. Novaro knows everybody. Lunch in San Martin de los Andes, then back to Bariloche via Villa Angostura. The road from San Martin to Villa Angostura was miserable; with a half-inch of rain it would be impassable. At a rest stop in the forest we found piles of cut-and-stripped bamboo that seem to have been cut last year and then abandoned. The roadbed that was bulldozed through the pumice years ago still has not been invaded by bamboo or Nothofagus. Summary of the drive from Bariloche to Cordoba and return: There is a lot of Larrea between here and there, but much of the desert is diverse, with a half-dozen kinds of bushes, numerous wildflowers; many of the bushes and herbs in bloom. We saw only one squashed hare in the road on the way north, and that was the first day, yet hare droppings were common at most of our campsites. We saw maybe 5 squashed hares the last day in the vicinity of La Rinconada-Junin de los Andes. We saw guinea pig droppings at many of our stops, but saw only one guinea pig. There were many long stretches of newly paved road, but always an unfinished section or a stretch of detour, and very little traffic, maybe two cars per hour. Gasoline very expensive: U$$ 30 for 10 gallons; oil U$$ 8 per quart. Heard tinamous at most of our campsites. November 20- Bariloche. Sunny and warm. November 21- Bariloche. Michael Christie came by. He and Eileen Lacey have been off collecting tucos at places such as San Martin de Los Andes, but apparently without much success. He brought some owl pellets from Marful's (1 km W of the lake at Los Juncos), and skins and skeletons of some tuco tucos. Noveber 22- Bariloche. Sunny and warm. Michael Christie came
