[[underline]] Sept. 30 [[/underline]] Drove down to the Pueblo of Taos and watched the Indian foot races and dance, then camped over at the ranch of Mr. M. Martinez and stored our camp outfit in his barn, as he is going to winter our horses.

[[underline]] Oct. 1 [[/underline]]. Got up at 3 oclock & started at 4 for the railroad, long before daylight on a frosty morning. Started for Cervilleta but got the wrong road & went to Tres Piedras, 34 instead of 18 miles. The train was due at 10:15 and we missed it by only 5 minutes. It pulled out as we drove up to the station, so we had to lay over at Tres Piedras 24 hours. 
We crossed the Rio Grande at the mouth of the Hondo in a fine canyon 1000 feet deep with lava walls and the deep green pines at the bottom. There is a good bridge & good road, a hotel & toll house in the canyon.
