Willow Cr. Camp, Panamint Mts, Cal.
I left Keeler this morning with Mr. Funston by the Cottonwood Cañon trail, crossing the southern end of the Inyo Mts just south of Cerro Gorde Mt and descending nearly two thousand feet into an elevated valley filled with . [[underlined]] Yucca arborescens [[/underlined]], to be known in these notes as Yucca Valley. The trail then gradually ascends about a thousand feet westward passing through a small narrow cañon containing a poor waterhole; and descends five hundred feet or more to the divide between Paramint and Saline Valleys. The camp is about two miles northeastward from this divide, about a half-mile west of Jackass Spring, about 50 yards from Willow Creek.
