1966 Ojo Sajuma, Sierra del Indo
5200 ft. Chile, Mex.
Apr. 14
Again spent the morning
hiking through the mesquite of
Cadillan in search of Gambel
Quail - to no avail.
By noon the temp. had dropped,
the wind was blowing and
dense clouds were gathering. Between
4 and 5 P.M. we had about 1/2 inch
of rain accompanied by
thunder and lightning - most
unusual to have rain at this
season - especially during a period
of drought - Mr. Gutierrez (at
this camp) was happy.
Apr 16-
cold, windy and cloudy - took
a hike through the mesquite
- critters were scarce - nothing
new. By 4 P.M. we needed lights
in the trailer. Between 5 & 6 P.M. during
a thunder and lightning storm we had
a small cloudburst - at least an
inch of rain, maybe two. Every trail and
sully became a small river.
