I haven't posted in several months. In early January we left on the Gran Caldera and Southern Highlands Expedition and haven't stopped to take a breath since. Here are a few photos from the expedition. Above is a plate of fish the porters caught at the beach camp.
The trails we used for primate and duiker (small antilope) surveys and the trails we used to go between camps were marked with flaging tape. Most of the tape was either blank or said things like "1000m." In case you can't read the tape in this picture, it says "Ho Dios Mio"
After ariving at one of the camps late in the day (and being passed multiple times by the same porters carying 18-26k dry bags on their backs) one of the porters dumped his sack in the middle of the camp kitchen. Here are the contets. Lots of canned pork and canned sardines (huge favorites of most of the Equatoguineans on the trip) some powdered milk (tasty) and cola cao (hot cocoa).
More pictures and a story about drills to come.
