Twenty Tapanti reserve, cont.
14 May
lunch on the bridge ore 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 1470m
at which point it got more + 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 [illegible] someone
had fixed the water pipes 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 Kiese's husband
[illegible] Phil Servie 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.
