Tomorrow we will pick up a few supplies and then drive to Ajo de Agua. We should get there early enough to set out many traps. I would like to pick up a small series of Heteromys from here, then off to the Tiptepe area. The weather today was once again cool. Cloudy in the morning, partly cloudy in the afternoon.
