We were in the field by 8:30 and started sampling up the old road off of a newer old road, but quickly switched to a footpath that eventually degraded into a streambed.  It was a scenic valley with lots of stone walls and good exposure.  I was drained by 4:30 when we started the 3-km hike back to the vehicle.  I was concerned about how much longer I’ll be able to do this sort of thing.  I know a lot of the problem is the elevation.  Life at 13,000’ is not easy!
 

The white building is the Chuquichambi Community Hall where we lived.  The adobe bricks surrounding the hall were eventually incorporated into a  new building that rapidly rose during our stay. It is destined to be a small  hotel. Below the church steeple you can see an adobe outhouse... it was  filled and no longer usable.

Back at the ranch, Rick cooked another good meal.  We then exchanged data.  I played harmonica for awhile. It turns out Matt has one too so we did a couple of duets. Our music apparently inspired someone else; we could hear someone playing trumpet in the distance. By 8:15 I was ready for bed.
