way went up from San Simeon about 12 miles over a gradual grade going up about 3,000 feet in that distance. This is the road to Monterey; We went to saw mill & camped. I went ahead to see where it was & finally Mr. Nelson joined & we soon found the mill but spent about an hour finding water I found it at last just below the mill & went back about 1/4 of mile for the team. We traveled about 23 miles today. Could get no hay at San Simeon & the horses will have to pull through on barley & what feed they can get on the Mts. which is not much. Mr Nelson killed two geese this morning on the road.
