Pearson - 1996 19 much vegetaion, and the other line above camp with ore bushes (unidentified); her total: 5 steel traps, 20 snap traps, and 20 Shermans. Total of all traps was 117. Weather was sort of drizzly. Tommy thought that the unidentified bush around thge meadowmight be Veronica. 5 December - Drizzle most of the night. Anita's line caught 2 Chelemys, 2 Akodon longipilis, and 1 Auliscomys. My line caught 1 longgipilis. Sage's line caught 5 Auliscomys, and 6 longipilis. Total 17 mice. During the day Anita and I walked up the ridge across the stream through great lenga forest. First with bamboo understory, then Berberis percei. Quite open. The bamboo stopped at about 1400m elevation. The upper limit of bamboo was in the lenga forest. We stopped at a point where the forest opened up into a meadow with neneo and Acaena, but there was still lenga higher up. Dick hiked up high, above the forest looking for a lake, and set 10 steel traps in a rocky place and at a place with what seemed to be tuco burrows. He got back just before dark. Drizzle off and on all day. I checked my traps at 5 p.m: nothing. I had pulled 6 of the jump traps to give Dick some before he took off for the high country. 6 December - Some sun in the morning. During the night Sage saw a fox and a hare in the meadow. My shortenend trapline had 1 longipilis, Anita had 1 Auliscomys (or Akodon olivaceus), and 1 Chelemys. Sage's line near camp had 1 Chelemys, 1 Geoxus, and 2 longipilis. His line of 5 jump traps up the mountain in the rocky cliff caught one Auliscomys that was partially eaten incluiding the brain; the 4 traps in tuco burrows caught nothing. Today's total catch 7 mice. All traps picked up and broke camp. Tommy arrived at noon and we drove down to Dollly Frey's house, then down to her garden where she was at work. She has planted some Fuchsias and Gunnera from Chile there and they have survived, plus a nice garden of flowers plus peas and strawberries and rhubarb etc, She has lots of trouble with mice that she describes as like a mole. She was using some European traps for moles, without much success. Left a Museum Special with her. We saw no amancay on this trip. After pouring over a topo map we ended jup calling the Refugio campsite: 4.2 km S, 2.6 km E Cerro Shaihuequen, 1300 m, Neuquen.
