Howe Spring is dry but surrounding habitat also looks good. We walked from Howe to Myrtle Spring, which is a slow dripping tap in a tank on a pinyon-juniper hillside. The country between the two springs is very beautiful - picturesque rounded rock formations and good pinyon-juniper woodland and lots of scrub oak in the wash above Howe Spring. Jan. 29 E.
