En Route Cuidad Victoria, Tam, Mexico to Albuquerque,
New Mexico.
16 August
By this time our insurance in Mexico had
(cont')
expired so we headed straight across the
border (after exchanging money). We had
no trouble at the border-crossing - only the
American people cared to see our permits.
1400-we ate at a "MacDonalds"- finally a
clean place to eat!
We drove all night - through San Antonio
and Abilene, Texas to Lubbock. (We pulled
the "snail hunt" in Judd at 0400 17 August).
17 August
While John picked up some personal
affects from a friend in Lubbock, I attempted
to trap some Geomys just east of town.
I caught one animal by the foreleg, but
it managed to pull loose.
1200-pulled all traps without success and
headed for Albuquerque, New Mexico. After
a nice 1 day stay with Diane (Dave
was in the field), we headed home. We
arrived early in the morning 19 August after
a long and successful trip.
