Aug. 26 Carman - just adorable. We gave Joe
100 pesos and for the kids 50 pesos
apiece plus another 50 for the Alvarez.
I got a group picture and we said
goodbye. It seemed quite wet too,
We then drove up to the microwave
towers on the road south from Los
Vegas. At the top we collected in
two places. The first was the old
locality just short of the station. Here
we got: 1 Pseudoenydra depressa (mostly
under logs, reddish speckled), 1 P. nolenonidae
(in a roadbank, yellow days spots), and
2 Chiroptotriton (in rotten logs). It
was frustrating to get so few Chirope,
and we went on to the microwave station
and worked the SW facing slopes just
beyond. Here in rotten logs we found
14 Chirope, 2 P. depressa, and 1 snake
(probably Drydus). Great Chirope -
excitment! Tomorrow we plan to
explore this canyon which we started
down, as well as another we found
interesting. We'll see how far down
the Chirope go. Exploration of "our
crack"! Exploration of new areas is
badly needed!!
