Vicinity Tapanti reserve, unt.
13 May a huge log over the trail, with just enough room to crawl
under. On the other side was an I.E. sign saying "¡Peligro!
(meaning, do not enter the area I had just come from)

Then back across the bridge + up the Tausito rel toward

to Ceara salamanders just then anyway.
We then walked back toward the cabina, stopping at
a stream about ½ way there and poking around for a while
(found 1 Norops humilis). Had lunch here. Then back to
the Cabina in early afternoon + spent the rest of the day

The rest of the day was spent in + around the cabina.
Weather clear to overcast. Some light rain in late afternoon
+ evening but not much.
14 May Spent the morning preserving specimens at the guard
station today - this looks until about [illegible]. Then had
