changes, left on the noon bus and stopped near Sta. Eulalia to collect in oak woods (no success). The km.#194 locality is at the top of the upgrade coming out of San Mateo towards Sta. Eub., it's the first crest with flat or slightly down grade in the pass, and may well be the highest point in that entire pass although there are several subsequent rises, perhaps as high. Thumbed a ride at $1.00 and got to San Juan around 7:00. 12. Caught the 8:00 am bus out of San Juan ($1) and changed at Huehuetecpan. Got to Tecpan at around 8:00 pm and found the only handy hotel, a bit more expensive ($2 w/o food) in teddy rain which they haven't had for a while (good for 'wanderers'). Chichuare is a limestone works and lies almost exactly (perhaps 1/2 k. off) the peak of the pass.
