Loosito, Dear 2010 Journal San Joaquin area, Gueretaro, Mexico Aug. 23 Spent part of the morning taking photos & drying out equipment. Drove to San Joaquin and went to see Renos archaeological site. Looked around under rocks & logs at the site, which was surrounded by rice oak forest. Found several Plestiodon and a small colubrid snake that looked like a Storeria. Searched in the woods below the village of Agua de Venado for ~1hr; found 3 Leptophis latifrontalis under rocks & logs. Drove on the road out from San Joaquin to the SE, then turned off on dirt road to San Juan Entramadas. Searched for ~30 min along road in pretty good oak forest. Jean found a Leptophis latifrontalis under a rock and I got a big Pseudoeurycea cephalica under a stone next to a rock wall. Drove back to OF, arriving late. El Asledero, Carrizal de Bravo, Guerrero, Mexico Sept. 25 Left OF yesterday at 15:00 with Tom Dentil & Steve Caroles, drove to Chilpancingo. Went ~14km S of Mazatlan on the free highway to Acapulco, turned off on road to Acahuitztlan. Searched on limestone gravels for ~1.5 hr; found lots of Phyllobactylus, and a big Sceloporus. Tom got a Mabuya. Went towards town & stopped along a roadside ditch w/ lots of grass & weeds. I got a Dendropsophus (heard lots) + 2 Andis, Tom got a Leptodactylus. Started to rain moderately hard; looked on road cuts briefly, then drove back to CA95. Found a Syrrhopus, a Pachymedusa, and 2 other frogs we couldn't catch (I probably a Smilisca) before returning to Chilpancingo. Searched ~20:00-24:00. Today, drove to Carrizal de Bravo's and talked to people who let us collect and stay at Asledero, the type locality for several species. Started searching
