[[blank page]] [[end page]] [[start page]] [[underlined]] to Dobbins [[/underlined]] [[underlined]] June 20. [[/underlined]] Continued all day along creek valleys and over ridges to near Dobbins & camped at ranch. In low foothills all the way, good ranches in valley bottoms, hills dry & brushy & covered with scattering forest of oaks, digger pines, Ceonothus, & Arctostaphylos. A few Pinus ponderosa appeared before we reached [[underlined]] Oregon Creek [[/underlined]] but kept on the cold slopes & gulches. Passed beautiful groves of old blue oaks (Q. douglasi) with their white trunks & mossy branches & elm shaped tops. Came up very slowly & camped [[underlined]] near Dobbins [[/underlined]] at about 2000 feet. Came only 18 miles. Crossed Oregon Creek at noon and found Alnus, Platinus & such trees along its banks. Orchards of apples, peaches, pears, plums and figs are common along the road. Grain & hay are the principal crops. Mining is the main industry of the country. Nearly every brook & gulch have been dug & washed.
