[[underline]] June 25 [[/underline]] - Sent 18 packages of specimens had the wagon repaired & got supplies. Worked around camp all day

Got mail in evening.

A nice shower in evening laid the dust & wet part of our stuff.

[[underline]]June 26[[/underline]] = Surber had to go 7 miles for the saddle horses & didn't get back till nearly noon, so we ate lunch & then started down the creek for the Grand Canyon, Came out in the wide Terlingo Creek valley & followed it down straight toward the mouth of the canyon &  camped below the brickyard under big cottonwood trees on the bank of Terlingo Creek 2 miles from where it joins the Rio Grande at mouth of Canyon. From our camp we look into the canyon as it opens its mouth as a narrow cut in the great escarpment running across the river valley.
