[[underline]]Bernardo Valley to Escondio [[/underline]]

Then over a low ridge to Bernardo Valley the warm slopes & sides of the valleys are all Lower Sonoran, open & hot and dry, well sheltered by mountains to the west.

Eucalyptis & pepper trees were all I could see of Lower Sonoran growth except one much neglected but fairly good orange grove.

From here over to Escondido the Lower Sonoran open slopes seem to be continuous on the south east slopes at least.

Coming into the valley at Escondido from a new direction seems to add more evidence of its Lower Sonoran affinities. Orang & grape fruit & lemon groves are more numerous & extensive than I thought & many other trees and plants, palms, agaves, & such are abundant.

Reach Twin Oaks at 6 P.M. & staid over night.
