December 28, 1926 - Today
we spent seven hours on mule
back going from Divisaderos to
the Manzanilla Estate, now the
hacienda of LA Swanquist. We
had lunch at Santa Rosa and
reached our destination after
dark.
December 29, 1926 - George D.
Stilton and our mose Jose
rode due west of the Hacienda
house to Serio Mogote mountain where
Jose had killed Canis No. 18258
several days ago. I rode south
with a native hunter and
guide to a wooded mountain
area supposed to be inhabited
by picaries. We followed the
rocky ravines from one water
hole to another all day and
only once did I see a place
where it looked as if something
had wallowed in the mud. This
was under a low shady bush
or tree near a water hole. I
saw many deer tracks but
saw no deer. While resting
near a water hole I saw a
squirrel Sciurus v. variogatosides.
It rained a few drops during the P.M.
