a little way as I was wearing sneakers on account of my ankle and could see no great reason to get ready for nothing. I got back to camp about 11:15 and immediately developed the film which turned out good. This afternoon was spent in the one that I wrote a note. August 8, 1933 The morning equally with the same afternoon though more windy. In the evening it was flouring a gale. I spent most of the morning sketching up my table and in climbing the two rocks with Fred & Jane of mammals this [illegible]. This afternoon in reality John Maxwell collected forms. August 9, 1933 The morning clouded rainy & blewed so fast no one went out. We sat around for the greater part and talked of our future plans. In the afternoon it improved if the sun came out so that I ventured out to the ridge of overlooking the Rio Bonito ranchero and but was forced back immediately by rain which started as soon as I reached camp. It has been doing all some our sand a rain shirt. August 10, 1933 It blew a gale all night with driving rain, which to get up at dawn to fix the tent. The rain let up about 10:00 but the wind continues maybe perhaps not as high as in its night. It is now raining. We all spent the morning in bed reading & writing letter to Mother (not finished). About 5:06 the senior Trafa was very pretty as was the coast a little after 6:00 - Nord ventured out into the afternoon & wrote my traps which held one woodrat Brass & myself about the afternoon as the morning. It has been about the coldest day we have had 47 9 C maximum August 11, 1933 Another stormy day like yesterday though we had a little sunshine about one. Did this same yesterday no one went out. Aug 12 1933 Just another day like yesterday very tiring & had to put my mammals over a fire to get them dry. Nothing else doing except plenty of rain & wind!
