14 Sept Creek. There is also several miles of nice, wet,
drugging road cut along the road on either side of
the river. The road to the volcano leaves within
a km or two of the river crossing. It's inconspicuous
aside from a pulperia at the junction, and one
should ask for the Hacienda Palma when looking
for the turnout, as the '' also has its entrance
here. Within a km the road became
untravelable in my Toyota sedan, but can
be easily traveled in a 4-wheel-drive vehicle
w/good clearance. I left my car and
walked up a few km along the road
(~1200 to ~300 m in elevation) when it passed the
adjacent land was again cut for pasture land.
However there was more cover available and I
turned a good deal but found nothing. Several
many road cuts, some quite tall & wet were
injected and that way I found a snake
and anole. After ~ 1 hour I turned around
and returned to the car. I checked several road
cuts (including the one by the river) back on the
way down, and also returned last night
with a lantern to check them again. No
sols were found, but I did take a large.
Eleutherodactylus preserved ~ 2" or so in a drugging wet
road cut below a steep ditch spent a rather uncomfortable
night in Turrialba
