16 January (continued) around 1400 the clouds have seemed higher and it more or less stopped raining for ~ 1 hour. Also the creek seems a little lower today so we are all hoping for better weather. Forgot to mention that at the point where the new trail met the branch of Quebrada Cartavana, where we met Tonio and Gary, there was a pile of spines at the side of the creek that appeared to be Broechnyops.
17 January left camp ~ 0745 in rain w/ Gary Hartshorn, going up the road E. A few hundred meters from camp we crossed a fence into a clean cow pasture and found fresh scat and one clear track of Felis onca. A few meters further, scat we didn't recognize, maybe peccary (smelled like pig). Caught a small anolis along the trail. Reached a little thatched shed, and caught a larger anolis w/ an orange dewlap. Turned N and followed an old trail along a ridge paralleling the Rio Guacimo, which we could hear and at one point, had a spectacular view. Saw several Dendrobates pumilio and got two Eleutherodactylus. El. along the ridge ~ 1040'. Finally hit a canil or Trucha - a sort of trail foot-road and by walking E, hit the river at 1145 hrs. Got Eleutherodactylus w/ red spot on dorsum along the canil. The Rio is large and swift. An anolis w/ a middorsal stripe was on a down tree ~100m
