B. Shultz 1977 Journal Barillas, Huchuetenango 0 June quite nice to walk thru. Unfortunately, we found little workable habitat, & what we wanted, we found nothing except a couple of leptodactylids. We decided to head down (crest was at 6500' el.) & found a big path thru the scrubby stuff. Rolling rocks got 2 Bufo sp., one Rhadineu, one Thamnophis out in the scrub. Then bade into the mature woods where we got an Euneccs (breirosthis?) under a big log, & another Barsia in the fire. By this time it was pouring & we were soaked, so we ran down. Of course, we hit the road below the car, miscalculated, & went down-walked all the way to town. Tomorrow we'll get a bus up to the car. Dinner at 7, then bed, I think. Finca Chiblac, Dept. Huchuetenango 1-2 July We rented our horses & hit the road to Chiblac around 10:15 AM. It was a clear, hot morning, & we got a good mula & a nice horse- me on the mula, Paul con caballo. It's a long ride- we stopped for lunch at Concepcion, where the road forks to Chiblac, around 2. Off again by 2:20 & We found that the horses dislike going down hill- they snake walk & go slowly, so we walked down the grade to El Valle, & into Chiblac.
