The hike back to the lake (I didn't go all the way) was across rock-strewn mesa top with some sand or dust in placer but mostly rock; Cebu de Pidi, Yerba, Sececeo, a few navos, buckwheat, a few scattered Borberia. Rock outcrops with little dust, even out on the mesa, had Rattlesnake and Eunomys droppings. Left for home at sunset. Lots of laves along the roads. nov.25 Left 10 am for San Colorado. Rain rain all the way. Acita & Sage collected lizards in the rain at the rim rock above La Rinconada. Visited with Jorge Rawland, the owner of Campo Grande and got permission to sleep in the shearing equipment shed. Then we set out traps on a rocky hillside about 2 km S of the Estancia; good moped boulders, grass and good big boulders. Total Traps 27 steel traps of 30 museum specials. Also 8 steel traps for terriers at a site where something had been excavating a series of Ticos? burrows. Then back to the shed where Christine & Sique Bravos joins me. One hot seen in the shed at dusk; spread a bat net across the door. Still raining. nov.26 Rain all night. Traps have had nothing, but not 0. 1 set 5 steel traps at another side of Ticos Burrows. A Paisano, Eunibio Contreras delegated by Rawland to look after me, says
