Sept. 2 '74 Spent an hour in each of
Two localities in the mix above San Juan
Ixcoy (towards Bluejune) checking bromeliads, logs,
leaf mold, stamps et al with no success, one
place was high hardwood stuff, montane rain forest,
the other lower and denser perhaps numbered.
Stopped next several kilometers further
on, at a higher altitude in a largely dead
pine forest where a brook crossed the road. There
are deciduous shrubs and grass and moss cover the
ground. A rocky area, in fact a major landmark
is an enormous stone spire with several trees growing
on the top, sticking out of straight up from the
hillside some 500 yds to the south of the locality and
a bit higher on the hill. It is the first such spire
seen coming out of San Juan Ixcoy, it stands several more than
100m high and probably is 70m thick.
