SAN PEDRO MARTIR TRIP.
BAJA CALIF.
Mon. May 18. Bought provisions in San Diego, packed in much haste, and got off about one o'clock. Crossed to Coronado, thence to Tia Juana. At the line got a puncture but thanks to Mr. H. got across without any inspection. Had one modest drink -- and drove off over the hills for Ensenada. Rolling, sage brush country exactly like San Diego district. Many Ravens and vultures. Had "modest repast" at Keller's -- a beautiful place between high rim-rock buttes and ocean. Drove on toward Ensenada -- the coast backed by hills, and the ocean very blue, with white beaches. Just after dark, Bony got a puncture and we had to wait for him about 3/4 of an hour. A fog and a rain came up, the battery and the spark plugs went on the bum. Finally got into the Consulate about ten o'clock. Thank Got for Mexican possibilities!
enroute to --- SAN JOSE rancho.
Thurs. May 21. Packed reorganized outfit in our two machines -- the Ford and the Buick, and got started for San Antonio del Mar, about 70 miles south on the peninsula. Both cars were heavily loaded, Mr. and Mrs.
