The Gray Ranch is an old place now owned by the [[image: a diamond inside an upside down V]] Diamond A. Cattle Co. who control Animas & Playa Valley ranges. It is the ranch where Geronimo was brought when captured and is now nearby a headquarters for cattle men. It lies on the opposite side of the valley floor and just south of the middle of the Animas Mts. Some big meadows and bottoms fenced in make excellent horse pastures. 

We reached the ranch at 2 P.M. Were invited in to a good dinner & I then saddled up & started for a bat cave in the Cloverdale hills 7 miles west. Found it in the bank of [[strikethrough]] of [[/strikethrough]] the wash north of Clinton Creek, up in the foothills. 

The cave is a washed out place in a cliff of volcanic scorea & ash and baked rock, full of great chunks of obsidian. It is 20 feet wide and 10 feet high at first but [[strikethrough]] soon [[/strikethrough]] narrows down about 50 feet back and then etends in a low tunnel as much farther. 

Transcription Notes:
reviewed -@meg_shuler "etends" looks like a misspelling of "extends" -@meg_shuler scorea = "scoria"
