Duke E Rogers 1980 Journal I took a ride on a truck (40 pesos) down to Motozintla. A man from Mexico City on the bus helped me find a mechanic. (11:00 hrs). He said to come back in three hours and we would go up the mountain. David and Ed stayed behind to watch the car. While waiting I purchased some supplies. 1530 hrs. As I left with the mechanic and two helpers who had driven as far as the outskirts of town, I saw Ed and David in the truck. They explained that just after I had left in the truck another vehicle drove up and had jumper cables and were able to start the overyall. (A previous attempt had failed). Ed had looked for me in town but had not found me, leaving David on the outskirts in case I drove by. They were just turning around to go and check traps when they saw us coming. 1610 hrs Arrived at second trapping locality (12.6 mi by road) Motozintla de Mendoza; Cerro Mozotal. 1655 hrs Finished checking these traps which were set on a very steep hillside. I collected 2 P. boylei, and 1 Neotoma mexicana T and 2 P. guatemalensis, and David 1 P. boylei and 1 N. mexicana (out of 20 traps each). Several of the mice collected in the morning are dead so I put them on ice and will take tissues later. This locality consists of mixed pine and deciduous trees, with bunch grass and moderate undergrowth. 1825 hrs Completed checking traps at highest elev (2800m)
