1986 J.A. Gord Journal 1800 m cabin to 2050 m camp 22 april Spent the morning today giving numbers to animals + packing for the hike to 2050m. Mike Grayson came down from 2050 at about 1000AM + said that he had made it in 1½h (downhill, without poles). We left ca 11AM + hiked up, arriving in about 3-3½h. We met Beth Bruce on the way, she was hiking from 2050 to La Selva. On arrival at 2050 camp, which is a "post" farmhouse with several outbuildings in the middle of a pasture (it even has a shower - cold, but a shower nonetheless), we had lunch + relaxed for a while. About 430PM, Manuel, Federico + Craig went off to San Rafael, which is just a few km away, for beer, while I went with Federico Muñiz, a Doug Robinson student who met us at 2050m, to a site where he had seen, but not collected, Cedipine poeji. - We didn't find any. On my return to the camp at about dusk, I found that Dave Cole + Jay Savage had arrived- spent the evening finding out what was happening in the world outside + showing them our animals. Weather today mostly overcast - high winds + driving mist/rain at 2050m. It is much colder here than at any of our previous sites. 23 april Craig + I spent the morning, after breakfast at 6AM, preserving animals. Jay+DBW went out collecting in the local pastures, which are full of moss-covered logs. Various people hiked up the trail toward 2600m to about 2300m.
