En Route Mexico City to Morelia, Michoacán, Mex.
21 March
1200-1300. After lengthy drive arrive we
arrive in Morelia 1630. Ate dinner in
the town square (no beer, so this is a
holiday), then walked around for awhile
looking at local crafts. I bought Emily
and Julie each a nice blouse in a
local shop. For a small bribe, I
managed to buy some cold beer. We
departed Morelia via Hwy 15 west at
1800. Camped about 500 meters off the Hwy
on the turnoff to Capula (about 12 km.
on Hwy 15 SW of Morelia). Very rocky,
thornscrub habitat - we set out 50 Sherman
traps here.
2000 went to bed - cool evening, light
breeze from SW.; light overcast - full moon.
12 km. SW Morelia, Michoacán, México.
22 March
0630 arose. Cool, breezy morning.
Checked traps:
2 Peromyscus sp.
2 Baiomyus sp.
(released the animals)
0700 continued west on Hwy 15 and drove
via Quiroga and Tacapu to Zamora.
Picked-up some fresh water west of Tacapu.
