[[underlined]] Zuni to Gallup. 

Sept. 22 & 23 [[/underlined]] - From Zuni we follow a good wagon road almost due north, gradually up onto higher ridges until above 7000 feet where we began to strike a few yellow pines & gambels oaks, then on up and down gentle slopes over mixed Upper Sonoran and Transition Zone ridges, then down to about the 7000 foot contour and camped 12 miles south of Gallup. From here we followed down a long gulch that leads off to the west, then over several ridges and reached Gallup at noon, got our mail and some supplies and returned half a mile on the Zuni road to camp by the big tenaja. 

From Zuni to Gallup the country is dry, with only a few places of very poor water, little grass, few people and no stock except sheep. It is mainly wooded ridges covered with Junipers and nut pines almost all the way, well mixed with yellow pines and gambels oak on the higher ridges and cold slopes. These ridges are the western end of the Zuni Mts. which rise black and forested just east of us.
