were looking for. He worked left, I worked right. Ridges are best, rather 
than the rubble slopes - Burrows are found at the very base of abrupt 
outcroppings in cavities there. They vary in depth and distance they extend 
back: some wee so far back one can’t see the end. I found several and tried 
to memorize where they were in this confer mass of rock. The slope is 
incredibly steep and one has to be very careful not to slip or it may be 
very difficult to stop rolling down the rough volcanic rock. I felt very 
sleepy and often dizzy, undoubtedly due to the altitude and lack of sleep 
the night before, so X sat down and dozed twice for a few minutes. Once I 
was rudely awakened by a clattering of noise to my right and a human like

birds in pretty sad condition. We decided to work further off to the right 
and found seven burrows at the base. We worked our way over to toe ridge 
that separated our canyon from the rest. The clouds come rolling in and
