[[left page blank]] [[end page]] [[start page]] [[underlined]] To Amarillo & Portales [[/underlined]] [[underlined]] June 7 [[/underlined]] Took train at 5 AM for Amarillo & connected there with the Pecos Valley train for Portales, N.M. arriving at noon. From Amarillo to [[strikethrough]] Portales [[/strikethrough]] Borina there is almost no change of [[strikethrough]] color [[/strikethrough]] country from the smooth, short grass prairie with sloughs here & there, plenty of grass & lots of cattle. After crossing the N.M. line we enter a drier region and pass through a wide stretch of sand dunes. The country is evidently getting lower for mesquites come in thick though low & scrubby. At Portales it is just level plain but all scattered over with mesquite brush & some Opuntia arborescens. Lower Sonoran Zone is evidently coming in. There are some Neotoma micropus nests. Saw 32 Antelopes 1-4 in a place - between Canyon & Portales, mostly bucks but one doe with a kid. Geomys hills all the way. Got horses at Portales & rode over to the gulch & springs - 5 miles east. A hot day.
