1986 D.A. Good Journal 1500 m camp 17 April Very wet today. Up ca 730 - pouring rain. Had a leisurely breakfast - Moore seemed to want to go out collecting, finally paused briefly ca 1100 - Manuel, Federico + Chris went out. Craig + I stayed + preserved specimens. Soon was raining again + Manuel + Federico returned after ca 1 hour. Late Lunch ca 100 PM after finishing specimens. By then rain had let up + it didn't rain the rest of the day, although everything was dripping wet. Craig + I went out in the afternoon - not much to turn around here - the ground is like a sponge. The only thing to look under is moss (which is everywhere, several inches thick). Back to camp ca 430-500. When dark, we all went out with head lamps for a while - got some stuff (see catalogue), although frogs not as numerous as at 1000 m. 18 April As usual, up ca 730 + had breakfast. - Then Craig + I preserved specimens until ca noon while Manuel + Federico stayed around camp + Chris went off with his camera. Then lunch. After lunch (ca 100 PM) Manuel + Craig went up to the 1800 m cabin to see what it was like + Chris, Federico + I stayed around camp + looked for frogs. I concentrated mostly on Nidrition but had little luck. Craig + Manuel returned ca. 500 PM + we all had supper + waited for dark when Federico, Chris + I went out with head lamps. Unlike yesterday, there was little rain today + the moon was bright - the frogs were few + far between. Weather today clear - partly cloudy. A few sprinkles toward evening. Bronchiids not common here.
