July 12 24 mi N.W. Punta Prieta 2000+ ft. Baja California
Arrived her yesterday afternoon at about six. We camped beside road next to a very small deserted shack and about 100 yards from a delapidated coral. To the east of us rise the sierra de Calamajú and the flat sandy terrain over the approx. 5 miles distance between our camp and the hills is fairly well covered with Agava, Yucca, Cardone, Cerio, Mesquite, Creosot, Saramboullu, Cholla, and numerous small bushes. Just west of us is a small rocky hill covered with Encelia, Yucca, Elephrium, Barrel Cactus, Pitaya agria, Cerio, Mesquite, and small shrubs. West of this small hill, larger ones are seen to continue to the north and large lava out-crops are common on all of them. The mountains to our east and the hills at our west border a flat valley that appears to run directly North-South in direction.
