Cascante Camp (cont')
7 April (cont) we had lunch + discussed itinerary. The rest of
the afternoon was spent searching for [illegible] + keep in the
pasture around camp and giving numbers to animals.
At ca 500 PM, Craig, Manuel + Federico went up the
trail toward 1000 m camp + set out some leaf-lit
drift fences and funnel traps. At 700 we all went out
night walking - I finally soon broke the globe in my
heroene lantern + water another lamp, my headlamp batteries
died. Then back to camp (using Craig's [illegible] lamp) and to
bed ca 900 PM.
Weather rainy or drizzly all day. Everything soaking
wet. - But no salamanders on the foliage tonight.
We managed to get our liquid nitrogen tank delivered
today.
8 April
Up 600 AM + breakfast. Spent the whole morning (until ~1200)
taking tissue + preserving animals. All but Chris were present during
this procedure; he had gone up the trail toward 1000 m . After
that was done, Craig, Manuel + Federico also went up the trail
while I stayed behind for a bit to write field notes. I then went
downstream along the Rio Cascante which disappears below ground
(actually under a boulder field) just below camp. A hundred
meters or so beyond the point, it re-emerges in a cascade
down into a gorge while I was unable to get into. I then
returned to camp ca 130 PM + waited for lunch at 200. After
lunch Craig + I went up the 1000 m trail to the place where
it crosses a stream + looked around under rocks, etc. Then
