Journal 99 9 mi. NW San Miguel, 8000 ft., Depto. Cajamarca, Peru and await help. There could possibly be a pickup coming from the mine. At 1:00 pm it began to rain. We are in a pasture of short grass. This whole area is inhabited, though sparsely, and there are nearby houses. Along the cut of the bank are large holes made in the muddy earth. Perhaps these were made by a mammal. There are also large burrows similar to those on the ground. If we are stuck here tonight we may get a chance to trap. At 3:00 pm Dr. Kford and I started out back the road we came from. The people here said it was about a 3 hour walk. After 2 1/4 hours we had walked past where we camped last night and got to a little shack where we talked to the man. We wanted to get to Palmitos, where the only car around was supposed to be. The man said it was very far - another 3 or 4 hours. By then it was already 5:45 pm. The man offered us horses tomorrow to go to Palmitos, so we decided to walk back to camp, and try to get out tomorrow and if we can't take him up on his horse offer. Apparently San Miguel is still 3 or 4 hours away by car and the road is very bad with some washed-out bridges. We have only less than 5 gallons of gas, so our only choice is to go back by the road we came up. It rained for only about an hour and a half
