April 21 Agua Hedionda 32°30'N 116°16'W Baja California
California Quail; heard the Swainson Thrush,
Wren-tit, a Thrasher, Killdeer. Many loves
clunked from its trough and pools in the mud.
Departed for Ensenada via Tecate +
Tijuana about 1:00 PM. Arrived Ensenada
about 6:00 P.M. after a pleasant drive over
paved roads from Tijuana to here.
Last night was clear, with a full moon,
a possible explanation for the scarcity of
the catch. Today was clear, the sun shining
brightly with clouds only in the east during
the early morning.
Archaeological Site: scattered between the
granite boulders north and south of the
spring are plentiful fragments of pottery
of very hard substance, about 1/4 in thick
and unglazed. Pottery color was reddish
brown and dark gray. Outside surface
skillfully smoothed, inside surface with
moulded appearance. Two fragments of
bifaced manos were found, but no evidence
of metals.
April 22 Ensenada Baja California
9:30 A.M. Are waiting for repairs on
the International truck. The overload spring
in the left rear side has slipped backward
and out of line.
