1986 D.A. Good Journal 1000 m camp 11 April Tallthing. To sleep ca 900. The frost here is a bit witter than below - one of the most noticeable aspects, aside from thicker moss, is an abundance of tree ferns. The temperature is noticeably lower, especially at night - we need a sleeping bag zipped all the way up. Temperature during the day can be quite warm, though. Weather today clear to partly cloudy all day - rain in evening. Opened ca FS-80 bromeliads, today, found only 5 frogs (4 Eleutherodactylus + 1 Hyla). No Salamanders. 12 April Spent the morning, after a prolonged breakfast, processing animals with Craig while the others went out collecting. On finishing ca 1030, Craig walked back down to Cascante with tissue samples, while I brunted in the Valley below camp for more Notitation. Found more on the 5 hours or so I looked. Bails to camp in mud afternoon + soon Thereafter the others struggled in. The rest of the afternoon was spent eating + talking + writing notes, etc. Ca. 600 PM we all went out with head lamps. Did very well (see catalogue) Spent ca. 1½ hours out, until my batteries gave out (they were Costa Rican batteries + when new when I started this evening) Weather today mostly partly cloudy to overcast, spitting rain a bit now and then but nothing major. At night, rain became heavier with a lot of mist in the valley below camp.
