[[underlined]] May 20 [[/underlined]]  Sunday.  Went to my traps & down in the canyon where I staid nearly all day, too sick to tramp about much.

[[underlined]] May 21. [[/underlined]]  As it rained all day & I did not feel well I worked on plants in the house most of the time.  Identified a good number of species.

[[underlined]] May 22. [[/underlined]]  Hunted hard all the A.M. for rock squirrels but did not kill one.  They live along the sides of the canyon & all very shy, running over the walls and out above if started.  Packed up our things and took the 5:30 P.M. train for Alpine.  Stopped at Langtry for supper & then climbed up grade onto the open, dry mesa and kept in open country till dark.

A few junipers along streams mark the only change in flora of note.  Yucca glauca have gone to seed low down but on the high ground N.W. of Lantry they come back in full flower - abundant & beautiful
