[[underlined]] May 7, 1906. [[/underlined]]
Woke up an hour before reaching Trinidad on the Santa Fe on grass plains scattered over with [[underlined]] Opuntia arborescens [[/underlined]] just leaving out.  Near Trinidad the valley is green with fields of alfalfa & grass & grain.  Applle, plum & peach trees in blossom.  Leaves well out on [[underlined]] Populus prunitis [[/underlined]], less adornment on [[underlined]] angustifolia [[/underlined]] Junipers & nutpines cover the hills around Trinidad.  Got a good [[homey?]] breakfast at The Gardenias.  Up canyon to edge of Transition zone about Morley - where Pinus ponderosa, Pseudotsuga, Quercus gambelii begin with Populus angustifolia following the streams.  Transition continues over the pass & down halfway to Paton, then, nut pines & junipers begin & the valley below Paton is open & grassy.

On the mesas west of [[Hibson?]] yellow pines are close enough to be recognized as also on the [[Zinaja?]] Hills east of Dorsey.
Yellow pines appear again on the Gonzales Mesa, on the Canadian Hills, [[Luskey?]] Mts., and along both sides of the canyon at [[Watsons?]].
