pans scKi what not on their heads, taking things hone or to market. 
Bwerything in the world, not too bulky or heavy is head borne; yes, 
have seen sizeable tree tinink so carricKjl, but the oddest is a single 
quart wine bottle or is it a fifth here (liter probably) standing upright 
on a black head and perfectly balanced although the carrier was moving 
along at a good clip. 
At one point on the Hoyo rd. a giant tree had been felled. At 
20 ft, up must have been at least 3-i» feet in diameter and in totfsl 
length, (I stepped off all or most of the sections into which had been 
cut, srane 135-lliO or 150 feet high, if not more. Ht. Hoyo is a striking 
place, a sort of Rocky Mt. rustic camp, wide plank sided cabins, sane 
double, some single, and not too maiQr all told with drum-tanks for 
water, hot and warm in tubs, but with pitcher and basin, face washing 
facilities, and one of the few places where there were noil mosquitoes. 
Was coolish here too, VSe had hoped to arrive for lunch, but did get 
there ahead of dinner, after idiich we visited with Coleman lanterns 
and flashlight one of the caves, an eerie place in the dark. There 
were only two other couples here, one with twin babies in baby buggy 
and folding pen. Hie place cannot accommodate very many. It is quiet, 
picturesque, high up with view to west across a valley, and over the 
forest flrom the clearing about ii^ich the cabins sit. I*m sure you'd 
like this above most of the places seen so far. After collecting 
the caves or grottoes, I wished we'd planned at least a week here. 
In a stream in one cave got a single crab, -I'd liked to iave gotten 
more, -some isopods (pill bugs), and a host of roachlike, blind insects,-
