1927 P. I San Jose del Sacare, Dept. Chalatenango, Salvador March 10, 1927- We left Los Cuesmiles early this morning, stopped at a mud shack where lunch had been prepared for us at 11:30 A.M. and reached our next camp at San Jose del Sacares at 3: P.M. San Jose is a small place on the trail between La Palma and La Rena. There are perhaps two dozen mud brick houses or huts on either side of the trail with an equal number scattered along the oak and pine ridges. I had time to string thirty traps this evening before dark. I followed a trail off through the oaks to the West of camp and strung five traps at various points along a dry red clay banked ravine which led down through the oaks (Sonoran) to where a small stream flowed on farther down to join a larger stream. Although there has been so much grazing along this stream that nearly everything is stripped, there are a few places such as under pole fences
