Hafner, M.S.
1977.
2 km. N. las Pocitas, 110 m., Baja California Sur, México.
13 July (cont)
success: 24/100.
We released all but the pocket mice and Dipodomys peninsulae and prepared specimens, saving 2
of each taxon for karyotyping.
1100 departed this locality and drove via Hwy 1
south to La Paz. We passed through the
narrowest point of Baja (about 25 miles
wide) and could see both the Pacific Ocean
and the Gulf from the Hwy.
1230 arrived La Paz. Drove to a large bank
near the Governor's Palace and changed money.
We then obtained directions to the tourist
office. After a few hours of shuffling
from one office to another we obtained our
car permit for entrance into the Mexican
mainland. We drove out to the Ferry docks
about 17 km N. of town to find out that
tickets were no longer being sold except for
the day of departure. We drove back into
town - an extremely hot day, where we looked
up a tourist agency and got our reservations
for the ferry trip to Mazatlan on this
Sunday, 17 July. The cost was approximately $40.
The woman at the agency could speak very
good english - she invited us to use her
office phone to call home (collect) after 5:30
