Myrna Leung 1969 Journal 98 ~ 10 mi. NW San Miguel, 9000ft., Dept. Cajamarca, Peru August 27 (Wed) bright yellow beneath & on the forelegs, and an diva stands like pub pepper. I didn't find the bird. The vegetation is somewhat brushier & woodier, though lower than that at 6000ft. This area has been cleared a great extent. Apparently all the land this side of the river belongs to the hacienda Jaulis. 9 mi. NW San Miguel, 8000ft., Dept. Cajamarca, Peru 10:30am We left the "compite" and pushed on. The road remained muddy, but after a couple of especially bad places we got through to where the road had short grass. When dry, this offered good traction. We continued on the road and noticed a couple of what appeared to be forks, but we kept to the left road leading down, because tractor tracks went that way and we were under the impression that the tractors came from San Miguel. There were no other vehicle tracks. We got down to a valley but had trouble getting up a muddy hill after fording the river (about 20ft. wide). When some small boys came along we found out that we were on the wrong road and that this road went only to a mine. It was 2 miles back up a slick, muddy, grassy, curvy & steep road to the junction we should have taken. Knowing the car would never make it, we decided to stay here at this pasture
