Back at the bridge Enrique and Noel
set a comparable number of traps right

where the vehicle was parked we set
the remaining 40 shemans and

wire cage traps at the edge of the
stream.
I ito built a fire and cooked a
"proper" asado (done out in the country
over wood) for dinner. Around 11 pm we
went out to check the traplines.
Enrique and Noel caught one Gymycterus

larger Leptonyx in a Sherman. We drove

tissues from the Gymycterus, and went to
