Transcription
The road to the terminal reservoir passes a cliff with a large master tree where there is a rock crevice with lots of bat droppings (but no bats) The road also passes a nice lake with lots of reeds. Stopped at Cueva Trafal and found [illegible] very large owl pellets, well inside near the east wall. On the north side of the river, the road up to our former camp was looked, but we walked out, saw numerous cypress with girdled or gnarled limbs (up to 2" deep) at Estancia de Primavera, the hellbender in the photo of Sabanero moving the lawn is about the same as in my photo, but I walked to the cypress in the lower center-left; it is much bigger than it looks. The trunk is 15 ft around at waist height. The cypress burler in the photo then it breaks up into 3 or 4 big trunks x are very I counted growth rings on two cypress (dead stumps); one was 1 foot in diameter and 83 years old, the other 10 inches and 34 years. at every place, we stopped we searched for Eurocamp and Rattlerodon droppings. Saw no Eurocamp sign and very few Rattler. Camped at the N bank of Cueva Trafal under Firerod master acacia just between the big volcanic plug and the river (across from Rio Cujin Mangao). Counted just about 12 cactus frogs and 1 plant and [illegible] dead and 3 Cactus frogs all around one Rattlerodon Center. Night calm,
