or a little more and several hundred
feet across. This wash was just west
of a small range of hills and east of
the coast ranges. We followed tire
tracks in the sand along the east
base of the coast ranges until the
sand became too soft. This put us
at the base of a small hill at the
foot of the coast ranges where we
directly E or a little NE of our camp,
could see, Mt. Signal, (in Mexico),
through the low place in a "saddle"
made by the small hills east of
the coast just described, which
was several hundred yards east of our
camp. With 8x30 binoculars, we could see a
road which we think is probably

2 or 3 miles towards it but then saw
no connection between it and the
tire tracks we were following. We
made no other attempt to get to this
road which would probable have
been possible by crossing the wash
east of our camp at a place NE of camp.
The true location of this camp will be
