[[blank page]] [[end page]] [[start page]] After crossing a wide grassy plain We entered the west foothills of the Manzano Mts. at 5500 feet and there struck [[red checkmark]] [[underlined]] Juniperus monosperma [[/underlined]], [[red checkmark]] [[underlined]] Yucca baccata [[/underlined]] [[red checkmark]] [[underlined]] Nolina [[blank]] [[/underlined]], [[red checkmark]] [[underlined]] Opuntia arborescens [[/underlined]], [[red checkmark]] [[underlined]] Celtis [[blank]] [[/underlined]], and a little farther up at 5700 feet [[red checkmark]] [[underlined]] Pinus [[strikethrough]] monophilla [[/strikethrough]] edulis [[/underlined]]. Thence on to Mountainair the whole country is covered with [[red checkmark]] Junipers and [[red checkmark]] nut pines as far as you can see on all sides. A few little Mexican ranches are scattered along. Mountainair is at the summit and is said to be 6600 feet. It is about 15 miles east of the Manzano Mts. Got a horse & buggy & started after dinner for a saw mill in the Manzano Mts. to stay all night and climb the peaks and come back tomorrow. Drove through beautiful [[red checkmark]] Juniper & [[red checkmark]] nut pine country about 10 miles to where the [[red checkmark]] yellow pines and [[red checkmark]] oaks & [[red checkmark]] checker barked [[insertion]] pachephloea [[/insertion]] Junipers begin at 7000 feet. Then on to Spencers Saw Mill (Eastview) at 7400 feet then a mile & a half [[strikethrough]] beyond [[/strikethrough]] west to Dunn's Mill at 7700 feet & staid all night.
