Cascante to 1000m camp
10 April Spent the day primarily in getting ready to hike
up to 1000m. After some preliminary packing, we
sent Chris down the trail toward the roadhead to a
house where we thought Federico + Manuel might have spent
the night. Craig + I walked E along the trail toward
the pictures in that direction - another possible spot where
F + M might be. We didn't find them + returned to camp.
They were there → Chris had found them at the house down
the trail. No problems, they just got caught by the
dark.
The remainder of the morning + early afternoon was
spent preserving specimens + packing. Then lunch at 2:00PM.
After lunch we finished packing + hiked up to 1000m, sleeping
at ca 4:15 and getting there ca. 5:45, at dusk. Craig went out night hunting for an hour or two +
got some new Eleutherodactylus, etc (see app. accounts +
catalogue).
No time to look for Salamanders at 1000m, but one
of the mammal people saw what must be an Oedipina
inside the 1000m cabin - it disappeared under the floor
boards.
The 1000m camp is in a tiny clearing completely
surrounded by 1° forest. There is a small ca 8x12'
cabin with a fire platform + 3 pallets for sleeping. Just
below camp is a small stream. There is no open
habitat anywhere nearby.
Weather today mostly clear to partly cloudy, spattering
