sprinkles until wind the late is [illegible] cleared off and got still. Had a good cool night's sleep except for the many trucks that seem to come out after dark on [illegible] nearly Mex. Hwy. 85. The least area we are in is just a few miles north of Jacala via the hwy. May Awake at 6:30 PM to the sound of some passing farmer asking Jim for a drink of water and then a cerveza. Got up, had breakfast, wrote up field notes. Went back down the road a few hundred Puerto meters to the Puerta de la Zorra area along Hwy 85 in Hidalgo. An area of oaks, a few pines and madrone. Does not appear to be as high as the El Lobo area just north of here on Hwy 120. Sam went down two sink holes but both were very dry and there were no salamanders to be seen. We saw lots of Sceloporus but the only ones we actually got were two of Jim's. The males were blue headed with a large rusty mid dorsal blotch on the shoulder area. The Sceloporus were on the lime stone rocks and the nearly trees as well.
