went to Ricardo Flores major
in the morning and worked around
camp in the afternoon
In the evening (about 7:30 p.m.)
Emilio Montemayor, Supt. of the
new presa came to camp with three
other men. It was a social call but
also they wanted to borrow a spotlight
or flashlight so that they could hunt
ducks on the lake at night. They
said they had a home made boat.
There are perhaps 3 hundred
ducks of all kinds on the lake.
They feed along the shore and in the
shallow upper end but spend
most of the day on the open water
