D.A.Good 1986 Journal Vicinity of Tapanti Reserve, Prov. Cartago, Costa Rica 7 May Up ca 630 AM + spent the better part of the morning packing specimens for Dave Wake to take back to Berkeley since he was leaving today. By mid-morning we were ready to leave for our final look at the area with Dave, so Dave, Kiisa Nishikawa and I drove to Puriscal, then turned around + drove back south toward the reserve, recording mileages at various points along the way - for future reference when collecting without a car. Stopped at guard station to talk to Humberto Hernandez, the fellow in charge of the reserve and to get a key to the new [illegible] building there (where we plan on doing most of our work once we start getting animals) Also got a key to the gate so we can get into the reserve after 4:00 PM when the reserve closes. We drove slowly along the Rio Grande de Orosi road through the reserve checking mileages, finally reaching the ICE hydroelectric dam at ca. 1:00 PM. Here we turned around + drove back to the Rio Grande bridge where Kiisa + I got out and said goodbye to Dave who then left us to return to San Jose + home. Kiisa and I then spent the rest of the afternoon walking the 10.6 km back to Cabina Tapanti which we reached ca 4:45 PM. On the way we searched along the banks of the roadside for herps. Found only tadpoles, a snake tentatively identified as Trinitopon graule and a Peripatus. The Tadpoles were in roadside puddles, the snake in a crack between large rocks ca. 1 foot back in a roadbank and the Peripatus under moss at the base.
