Quest 1948 Journal 28 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.
