held 1 Colomy, 1 Eligios, (Adjacent Trofe), an 1 tail. Drove to San martin do los Andes, than off the Chaleco road 4 or 5 km looking for road slides. Found none, then back to town and up the road to Villa Angostura, about 8 km out of town, saw the first trees-trees diggings along the road: huge mounds of light black block soil. This was soon after the first bamboo, Berberis buxifolia and Vitellispora nearby. at 1 p.m. set 9 trofas at 3 different places, all along the road. Drezgle.

A side road comes in here, which might be the "back" road into town. Checked the three trofas at 6 p.m. (rolling) put 2 more at one of the places, and then set 5 more at two places farther off the road. These two places are at steep road cuts with a couple of feet of black light soil on top of orange-brown leaner soil, all trofas are within a stretch of about 2 km, above the back road to San Martin.

Most of night clear, no frost. Morning clear sky here on the hill. Put two trofas - 3 trees looking
