To Hda. Pairumani, Dto. Peno, Peri
down into another canyon where stream drained opposite from Cacachera (crossed continental divide) and came to a mine,
1.1 miles beyond summit, at elev. 15450 ft. Mine was
of zinc. Talked with 3 men. They said no lots. I couldn't
remember long name of mine & river long enough to write
them down. We left mine & drove to Cacachera (elev. 15100
this time), left there 12:30 p.m. Light snow commenced.
[illegible]
Continued on down to Santa Rosa, Mayocruz, & Pairi-
mani. Took about 4 1/2 hrs. from Cacachera to Pariumani
including a few stops & no hurry. Some rain at night.
Tutupasa road was 13 miles from Cacachera. Pariumani
elev. was 12920 (-950 on departure, +880 next a.m., with
barometer setting 30.06). Mayocruz about 21 miles from Junin;
Tutupasa & the Cacachera roads. The plain around Lake Zoris
cota, & Pato Grande, most interesting area we have en-
countered & possible site for future work. Probably
could get there with trails - 2 narrow sided spots & one
sharp steep turn above Santa Rosa.
May 5, 1951.
To Ilave, Dto. Peno Peri.
Overcast; occasional sprinkle. Snow on ground at about
13500' level. Put up Phyllotus & tinamou, packed some
specimens, & drove to Ilave. Picked up mail & groceries.
Camped by the river near bridge. Ilave prices same or
different than Puno - 3/11 for 1 lb. can Kalm; 25c for canned
milk (Delia). Today about 5 miles toward Ilave from
Pairumani flushed about 20 flickers from grass flat
field near road with car. May 3 flushed similar.
