I think if I use Paloe or Parigi as a base and first make a trip north fromthere I shall have fairly well covered all this northern peninsula. Then I canwork southward. In Minahassa I have been disappointed at not being able to get more batsand more large mammals. A short time ago I got a large squirrel about thesize of a Ratufa which I believe is very rare here.
