Shot a [[strikethrough]] Vespertillo [[/strikethrough]] Vesperugo fuscus and 2 V. pespercus. A pleasant day. There is plenty of shade & green plants to cover the ground as it does not get so hot. the water of the river is cold & nice, several sodawater springs come out along the river. It is fairly good soda water.
