[[underlined]] Nov. 9 [[/underlined]]. Started for Silver and after following up the dry wash of Glenwood Creek crossed the ridge to Mangos Valley and continued up it a few miles to stage station where we watered the horses & filled our keg & pushed on about 5 miles and camped in a dry wash where there was lots of grass

The Mangos Valley is mainly dry but springs come out in places & windmill ranches are scattered along the valley, which is surrounded by good stock country, open ridges & mesas covered with good grass a few miles back.

Yucca radiosa, Opuntia schottii, and dwarf mesquite are more or less abundant along the valley & up to our camp, where more Nolina & oaks come in as we get into more pure Upper Sonoran.
 
Set the aneroid at camp at 4470 top of ridges 4900, Mangos Valley 4800, left valley at 5000, camp 5400.

Transcription Notes:
I changed "mainly dry hot springs" to "mainly dry but springs" in the 2nd paragraph--thomasc
