[[blank page]] [[end page]] [[start page]] [[underlined]] To Susanville [[/underlined]] [[underlined]] July 17. [[/underlined]] From Eagle Lake we climbed a low ridge of lava and came down into Willow Creek Valley & followed it to the lower end where the creek cuts down through a gulch to Honey Lake. Then climbed over a ridge & came down about 1000 feet to Susanville Willow Creek Valley is an old link basin about 5 by 10 miles in extent. It is mainly a grass valley, all fenced & farmed. Pine timber covers the surrounding rocky ridges & uplands. Sagebrush grows over dry open places. On coming down the slope to Susanville we left Pine timber at the top & soon struck [[underlined]] Ceanothus divaricatus, [[/underlined]] Argemone, & other Sonoran plants – Croton & etc. The valley is very dry & hot. The middle part is irrigated & is all in green fields of grass & grain. Camped near town in a barren pasture. Got mail in evening. Came 25 miles before 1 oclock.
