about 3 miles I came out into the Acapulco road to Chilpancingo at Tierra Colorada and climbed up gradually by a rather rough, rocky road to Dos Caminos, where I stopped to have dinner and to feed and rest my horse. The country as far as Dos Caminos remained of the same general character. On the hills near Dos Caminos the lower pines begin. From Dos Caminos the road led up a fairly level valley to Rincon which is  situated immediately at the base of a high pine-covered ridge. There are pines on all the hills surrounding the valley, but none in the bottom of the valley. From the point where the pines begin, the hills and the rough ground is covered almost solidly with them. From Rincon, the road ascended the ridge and descended rapidly to Acahuizotla.

Acahuizotla is a sugar hacienda situated near the lower edge of the pines.

Transcription Notes:
I had them all right and someone came in and changed a few. They also added [[start page]] [[end page]] . I researched all the names to make sure they were correct. Now I have to do it again. HAD TO DO SIX OVER.
