Marshall, 1939 1 mi. N. Meteor Crater, G., Ariz. June 2-24 Ralph Goeglein, whose parents run the concession at Meteor Crater, knew an old indian or early settler (?) who had been here for 50 yrs. When he had first come there was bunch grass 6' high over this entire area. Now there is almost no grass, a few scrubby weeds. The land has been overgrazed by sheep & cattle & the soil has been washed off. Just recently, the area has been sold to a large Texas cattle ranch, which will restrict grazing here until a good stand of vegetation; then, will use it for a winter range only. Looks like a good step. Nighthawks were abundant in the evenings at the well, several miles S-E camp - foraged silently. A pet collared lizard was usually seen & fed flies at the quarry in the middle part of the day.
