[[underlined]] San Luis Obispo [[/underlined]]

[[underlined]] Sept. 24 [[/underlined]]. Got a saddle horse & went up San Luis Obispo Creek, through the first gap, then turned south up another creek and rode to the last ranch, then left my horse & climbed east up the Pine Ridge to San Luis Obispo Peak, 2800 feet, about 6 miles due east of town. From this ridge I could map most of the Transition zone area on the San Luis Obispo quadrangle

The rest of the country is all Upper Sonoran except the open valley bottoms which are a modified form of Sonoran.

[[underlined]] Sept. 25 [[/underlined]] Left San Luis Obispo at 2:45 P.M. for Santa Maria, on the narrow gague.

[[underlined]] Sept. 26 [[/underlined]] - Got a team and drove east to Gary & beyond to Tepusquet Canyon, up it to west base of the peak & left my team and climbed as high as I could get up Tepusquet Peak. Couldnt get all the way up through dense chapparel but got into transition zone on cold slopes a little above 2000 feet.

Transcription Notes:
'gague" is, I think, a misspelling of gauge (for narrow gauge railroad) I believe that the instructions say it is no longer necessary to indicate that there is a blank page, i.e., [[blank page]] [[end and start]] Gary = Garey
