1978
Cañas, Guanacaste Prov.
7 Aug.
Up at 8 & processed 'til Noon.
Piddled away the PM, leaving for last nets
site #4. Set up three nets, [illegible] over river
Then the sky opened. Took down river
nets. Got 1 Artib. Jamaicanus and 1 S.
lillium by 7:15 and, as was still raining,
called it quits. Home & dinner by 8:30.
Slept by 11:30 after one wet night.
8 Aug.
Cañas, Prov. Guanacaste to San José
Up at 7 & processed the 2 lots from last
site for the permit. Finally left "La Pacifica"
(3 sites # 250+) at 1 PM, Bonnie & Rollie not back
from the field. Drove on up back onto the
Meseta Central. There is really little habitat along
the Coast, a few rivers (large), at least one
setttable one near Puntaranas turn off. The Meseta
itself is mostly in coffee with little banana. Nothing
doubtfully settable on the road. We went thru
San José to Cartago to find a place, rising
to get there over a cedar crested ridge.
Got there in dark (~6:15) and rain to find no
hotel - only the unmarked "Pensión Panamá"
which a lady at the gas station by the ruins
of the citadel told us of. Some helpful folks
directed us to there but it was full, lousy &
probably a whore house. Disgusted, drove back
