C. Carder 1967 Journal 20 Oct 3rd. Lomi e Yareija, Darian Prov., Rep de Panama a small gold chain . $3.00. Had dinner early & headed for the nets. The earliest set was at 2:30 PM. We stayed up all night. There was a very slight mist most of the night. It was very cold and tired about 3:44 PM we were better by Oct 4th within #641 or #643. Hence at 5:45 AM we gimpoled in the paragua & raced for El Real with the two boats. Bob Fish was going to Panama City & could have the sets checked for us. We hope if Peters must have PABIS photos that they will send them so we can do it here instead of Panama City. Peter had to change the plane downed the landing strip, but we made it. Got the meds in El Real. Received Dr. Pearson's check for $150.00 which pays for what I have spent in Costa Rica & here. Leaves a little for buying animals the kids bring in. Also in El Real we checked for the shot gun that was supposed to have been sent me. No luck. Bought some alcohol since I couldn't get formaldehyde. Will use it till Oct 9th when I plan to go to Panama City for supplies. It takes so long to do everything here. Finally at 1:00 we took a nap till four. Curled the most nets up nicely & came back for dinner. The kids brought #61
