Cascante Camp, ant.
8 April
Truck to camp as it was getting dark. Ca 700-930 was spent
by all of us on night hunting along the 1000m trail.
Weather today Sunny + hot until ca 200 PM, then rain
the rest of the day.
9 April
Up, as usual, 600 AM + breakfast. Manuel + Federico went
off to check out some other river drainages (the Corralonga,
primarily) early in the morning + Chris went off on his
own. Craig + I spent all morning preserving specimens +
writing notes. - This lasted until ca. 1230 when we went out
for an hour or so and walked along a trail through 2° growth
toward some pasture land to the east. Found a Micrurus under
a log, but not much else. Back to camp for lunch at 200 PM.
Spent the rest of the afternoon in camp - everyone wanted to
photograph the Micrurus - preserved several more animals.
By nightfall, Manuel + Federico [illegible] not yet returned -
everyone is a bit concerned except those who know Manuel -
they say they will be fine.
Most of the camp plans on moving up the hill tomorrow.
Several of the mammal people have done so already. We plan
on leaving tomorrow assuming M + F get back safely.
Weather today clear + Sunny in AM until ca. 200 PM. Then
intermittent rain.
