[[blank page]] [[end page]] [[start page]] [[underline]] to Coyote [[/underline]] [[underline]] Oct. 11 [[/underline]] Broke camp at 2 P.M. & came back across the Puerco canyon and down to near Coyote & camped by rain pool. Had fairly good roads & mostly down hill. Came about 12 miles. Aneroid at camp 8500, at Coyote camp 7000 feet. Most of the way through juniper & nut pine country. The bottom of Coyote Creek valley is narrow, & rather barren except for the little Mexican ranches along the flat spots. Lots of water goes to waste and much more land could be irrigated & made valuable. At one ranch we stopped for grain but could get only wheat or corn. We took the wheat & bought some very good apples. Did not camp till dark so could set no traps. Found lots of Opuntia arborescens, & 2 flat species of Opuntia, Cereus pancespinus & a little mammillaria & other Upper Sonoran plants in canyon.
