J.A. Good 1987 Journal The journal accounts for 6-9 August are cursory overviews written on the evening of 9 August. For one reason or another, I failed to write an account for each day on that day. Such is life... SEE D.B. WAKE NOTES FOR MORE ACCURATE ACCOUNTS. 6 August Volcán Cacao, Prov. Guanacaste, Costa Rica Spent last night at Motel Bramadero in Liberia. Had breakfast at the Motel. Then drove to Santa Rosa Natl Park where we met Janger at 9:00 A.M. He then drove the 3 of us as well as two people who had donated some money to purchasing land for the new Guanacaste Natl Park (Beth Moorman - a grad student from Davis & Jess Alfird, a professional photographer from Texas) up to the new field station at ca 1100m elev. on Volcán Cacao ("Casa Mingo"). Route was through town of Quebrada Grande, then along 4-wheel drive rd. to "Finca Herold". From then we hiked for about 1½-2 hours up the Volcano to Casa Mingo, arriving in early afternoon. After lunch (provided by coals laid on by Janger + company) Janger left us + returned to Santa Rosa. Beth, Jess, Catfish, DBW + I hiked up the trail toward the summit of the Volcano, reaching ca 1400m by ca 4:00. We then returned to Casa Mingo. Had supper, then (F, DBW + I, as well as Dwight Lawson, a volunteer working for Janger who is interested in herps) went out for frogs at night for ca. 1 hour. Found only 1 large Eleutherodactylus. During the day we had collected 1 Boithamops lateralis, 2 Tantilla + 1 unidentified snake (see catalogue). Details of vegetation, topography, etc., will be included in future accounts, as we plan to return to this site on
