The plateau which we crossed along road S. of river to Fairview is rolling, high, on level with Iowa plateau, & the heavy timber on slopes along river doesn't show at all - all out of sight.
Yellow loess covers all, the upper part uniformly nodular.
There is much blue loess & Kansan shows at several points on lower slopes.
At turn of road before (or just at) going N. to Fairview there is a good exposure of fine Kansan.
Left Fairview at 2.18 for Westfield.
Mr. Boot took train back to Canton.
