3 December Went to Belco Schools for brief visit, then back
to yesterday's site. I learned its name from
John Bowlin's father, and that it is near Verdun.
Quelzada Acholao, ~ 5 Km (air) NE Negritos Piura Prov. Peru.
This place is reached by driving ~ 2.5 km N. of
Negritos on the paved road to Talara, then turning
E. at a small farm (with large conal st horses),
gong .9 Km then turning N. on a dirt
road for ~ 2.8 Kms, then E on a dirt
road for ~ 2.0 Km. There are oil wells
here and there, and the Bridas Oil Camps
residences are visible to the NW before one
drops into the Quelzada. We got a nice
look at a Dusycyon crossing the
road at 0830 hrs as we drove to
this place today. Walked around for
1 hour, but saw only reptiles and
Dicrodon - I watched one of the
lizards run ~ 15 m up an almost
vertical slip face. After leaving
we drove to Chiclayo via Sullana,
Piura (lunch), Sechura, Bayovar,
and Moropje. Stopped for brief walk
on beach north of Bayovar, and
again at cliffs near Bayovar. Didn't
see any Tropidurus peruvianus - too
hot? After considerable troubles
