From our Cuervo Camp we descended a broken & easy grade over open country to Puerto, then entered fine juniper & nut pine forest and climbed up a few hundred feet higher over beautiful parklike ridges & flats. Good grass & plenty of water in rain pools.

For the last 3 miles we descended in to an open valley closely grazed by winter herds and turned south from the Tucumcari road till we struck the creek that comes around the high point of the plains, then up the creek for a mile & camped.

Made a comfortable camp among the junipers in a sheltered place and for the first time in a week were fairly warm & dry.

Set traps around camp.
