(July 22 cont.)
(km 1) there is a jollazo. km 18 - nice looking
[illegible] again; km 20 - spectabilis monda. 13.8 mi.
from jct. is town of Santa Maria Gallardo. Still
rolling hills with good desert in this area. 1.9 mi.
beyond St. M. Gallardo we came to Presa del Llevoso.
Beyond this the road follows fairly closely a river
valley which is to the N - has cottonwoods along
banks, etc. 18.3 mi. from the jct. we came to
Viudas de Oriente. Beyond this (km 31-32)
there is excellent open desert. By km 33 it gets a
little thicker with some mulepas. 22.1 mi. from
jct. (km 35) there is a gravel road going S. Km. 37 -
strike. 24.7 mi. from jct. is town of Molino Viejo.
Beyond this, km. 41.5 seems to be about the highest
point on the rd. At km 42 is gravel road going
N. 29.3 mi from jct. is Chisosatono (Zac.). Half
a mi. beyond here we learned that we were in Zacatecas
so we turned around & returned to the vicinity
of km. marker 31 to camp. This was 1/1 mi. [illegible]
E of Viudas de Oriente (1 mi. N of Viuda de Oriente,
11 mi. SE Rincon de Romo). Set out 92 traps in
desert around camp. Head 1 bat in the evening.
Just after dusk it began to pour & it continued
to pour with strong winds most of night. Peter &
I spent well over an hour ditching & draining the
tent which was not in a particularly low place.
After dinner I ran all my traps & reset them.
