[[underline]] Tinescal to Elsinore.

July [[strikethrough]] 2te[[/strikethrough]][[/underline]]
   Left Glen Joy Hotel at 2 PM. and drove to Elsinore, 14 miles southeast and put up at the Elsinore Hotel.
    Followed up a narrow and often rough valley from Temescal to  Elsinore valley with the Santa Ana Mts. rising black & chaparral covered in the west and brown ""sage" & ''buckwheat" (Ramasis & Artemisia & Erriogonium fascinerelatum) covered hills on the east.  More douglas spruce (macroeaspan) and coulter pine appear in the upper canyons than I have seen before and as usual the spruce comes down to about 2500 feet on cold slopes while the pine appears along the higher part of the range.
   The bottom of the valley & the south slopes of hills to the east are Lower Sonoran with the same set of plants seen in the valley at Teuexeal.  Many bee ranches are seen in corners of the valley and some orange, lemon & olive groves along the foohills to the west.
