Pearson - 1995 4 black-necked swans on the marsh, and geese. As we approached Llao Llao we recognized Adam Hajduk walking along the road carrying the distributor cap of his car. He had been looking at archeology sites on Bahia Lopez. He has not located the tuco heads that he said he had found at an archeological site at Arroyo Corral (Dolly Frey's). Just after we left him we had a flat tire and came to a stop right next to his car! The forest at Llao Llao had lost two big coihues near our bamboo clump. The clearing with rosa mosqueta was about the same. No new bamboo shoots. Heard and saw chucaos. Many fallen limbs, as well as the two big trees down. See bamboo secies account. At 6:30 p.m. drove out to the pine plantation on the south side of the Limay at the exit from the lake (Estancia San Ramon?). Picnicked, then after dark walked through the pines for about an hour with jacklight and night vision goggles. Saw no mice, no sign of owls. I wonder where the Irenomys in owl pellets from Cerro Villegas come from? Perhaps from willows lower down the Limay? Cipres forest on top of Cerro Leon? The pines have about 20 growth rings and are about 20 ft. tall. Cool, little wind, half moon. Maximum temp. during the day 72. November 2.- Bariloche. Overnight minimum 50. Cloudy, even a few sprinkles. Shopped for tires. Temp max 64. November 3.-Bariloche. Overnight minium 50. Overcast, occasional drizzle in the morning, more drizzle in the afternoon. Installed 3 new tires. Started out for La Veranada in the afternoon, but too much drizzle so turned around at the middle of Lago Gutierrez. High about 55. November 4.- Overnight minimum 50. Day mostly sunny, calm, max 68o. Drove to La Veranada bamboo clumps. Road is paved all the way! Scattered couds but mild temps. The nire leaves are just beginning to come out, dandelions in bloom. Only a few birds (wrens and fio- fios), no snow, no wild pig damage, very few earth cores but lots of tuco sign, and Chelemys? Back to Bariloche about 4 o'clock. See Bamboo species account. November 5.- Bariloche. Day sunny, mild, breezy, max 66. Drove out to Rincon Grande on the Limay in the afternoon. They are laying telephone cable along the road: shallow ditch plus occasional cement junction
