D.A. Good 1956 Journal Vincenty Tapanti reserve, cont. 14 May Lunch on the bridge over Quebrada Segunda. We then walked up the trail along the Quebrada opposite the guard station. It goes up through pretty good looking forest along a route that looks like it was once very heavily travelled but is not used much at all now - quite heavily overgrown with young growth. We proceeded up this trail to about 1770 m at which point it got more and more overgrown so we came back down. The trail is probably passable beyond (the map indicates that it goes to about 1600m elev) but some brushwhacking would be necessary to re-clear the trail. On return to the cabin we discovered that someone had fixed the water pipe, so that the water pressure was greatly increased - enough to make the toilet leak all over the floor! Spent the rest of the afternoon cleaning up + fixing (I hope) the leak. Weather very dry - only brief drizzle in evening - too dry for decent frog hunting so we didn't go out tonight. 15-16 May Spent these 2 days in San José meeting Kiisa's husband [illegible] Phil Service and renting a car to return to Tapanti. On the way out on the morning of the 15th (we walked to the Rio Macho bus stop), we encountered a dog that had run up against a porcupine and had a face full of quills. Returned to Cabin late afternoon of the 16th - still not much rain - everything dry.
