Got nothing in my traps this morning. On its pond were Pelicans, Willet, Godwits, Laughing Gull, and Terns (sp?) in addition to those seen yesterday. We went on to the Laguna Madre. The country here was sparsely populated, flat, sandy soil, and mostly covered with mesquite or grass and weeds. We caught a few fish at a small wharf. We then drove back along our former route, passing through San Pedro, La Gloria, La Reforma, Guichavo and El Tigre on the way to Matamoros. These 'Towns' are nearly all nothing but ranches with names and places on the maps. We camped about 6 PM in the same place as day before yesterday! 5.7 mi. S
