This evening I boarded a train and started for Berkeley, California. Tuesday, February 16, 1943. I arrived in Berkeley early this morning. I went to the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology at the Univ. of California. There, I saw Dr. Hall who outlined the plans for the trip to Mexico. Hubert Hall helped me assemble equipment for the trip. Wednesday, February 17, 1943. Ward Russell and William Hall helped me assemble equipment and load the truck. I then drove to Dr. Hall's residence at La Fayette in Contra Costa County. I am spending the night at his house.

Today we traveled southward in the state of California. We passed through the towns of Modesto, Merced, Madera, Fresno, Tulare, Famoso and Bakersfield. We camped out for the night about two miles from Bakersfield.

J.R. Alcorn 1943. Itinerary Friday, February 19, 1943. This morning we continued our trip southward in California. We passed through the towns of Burbank and Glendale then to Pasadena. At Pasadena I left the party and traveled to La Habra where I spent the night with my sister. Saturday, February 20, 1943. I drove to Pasadena, contacted Dr. Hall and we then traveled through San Bernardino, Redlands and Indio, California. We camped for the night near the Salton Sea. There are seven of us in the party and to date all persons have been well and in good humor. A coyote was heard “yapping” this evening as we prepared the camp.

J.R. Aleorn 1943 Itinerary Feb. 21, 1943 Sunday. We traveled through Brawley and El Centro, California and crossed the Colorado River into Arizona at Yuma. From Yuma we traveled through Gila Bend, Casa Grande and stopped for the night about 25 miles west of Tucson. It rained on us last night but it was not raining when we prepared breakfast. It did not rain during the day. We had a very comfortable day in traveling 302 miles. All of the persons in the group continue in good health and "spirits". We passed through forests of giant Saguaro cactus. After we stopped this evening several coyotes were heard yapping. These Saguaro forests were located about 52 miles west of Casa Grande.

J.R. Aleom 1943 Itinerary Monday, February 22, 1943. We prepared breakfast and continued on eastward to Tucson. We visited with Voorhis for a few minutes then continued on eastward. We traveled through Benson, Tombstone, Douglas and Apache, Arizona and entered New Mexico and traveled through Rodeo, Road Forbs, Lordsburg, Wilma and Deming. We stopped for the night a few miles least of Deming, New Mexico. Tuesday, February 23, 1943 Today we traveled through Cambay, Crater, Las Cruces, Mesquite, Vado and Anthony, New Mexico. We entered Texas and passed through Vinton, El Paso, Fabens, Van Horn, Wendell, Marfa, Alpine, Marathon and Sanderson. We camped for the night about 10 miles easterly from Sanderson, Texas.

J.R. Alcorn 1943 Itinerary Wednesday, February 24, 1943. Today we traveled through Dryden, Comstock, Del Rio, Quemado, Eagle Pass, Carrizo Springs, Asherton, Catarina, and southward on U.S. highway no. 83 to Laredo. These towns are all in Texas, U.S.A. We arrived in Laredo this evening and are staying at an auto court. Thursday, February 25, 1943. This day was spent contacting Mexican and United States government authorities in an attempt to obtain the necessary permission to leave the United States and enter into Mexico. For the most part, I accompanied Dr. E. Raymond Hall, and it was he who took the lead in attending to these matters.

J.R. Alcorn 1943 Itinerary Friday, February 26, 1943. This morning we contacted numerous persons in an attempt to get ourselves and equipment into Mexico from Laredo, Texas. We succeeded in crossing the bridge and with necessary papers in hand we left Nuevo Laredo, Mexico and drove southward to Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. Carts and other implements drawn by oxen were seen between Nuevo Laredo and Monterrey. Small carts, laden with fire wood, milk cans and other material, and drawn by donkeys (one to four) were also a familiar sight along the highway. One Coyote was seen to cross the road in front of the autos and many goats domestic were seen along the highway. Numerous domestic cattle were also seen scattered along the road. They were usually seen feeding on the green grass near the road.

J.R. Alcorn 1943. Itinerary Mexico North Am- erica. Saturday, February 27, 1943. We left Monterrey this morning after we made a tour of the town. We then drove southward over highway no. 1 and passed through the towns of Linares, and Mante. We stopped for the night at Cd. Valles. Today we passed through much tropical territory. Palm and other trees and vegetation, in places, were so thick to make it appear difficult for a person to walk through the jungle. Parrots and other birds, not before seen by me, were observed. I did follow a small trail for a short distance into the thickets and tonight have found about a dozen ticks (very small ones) on my cloths and body.

J.R. Aleorn 1943. Itinerary Sunday, February 28, 1943. We left the city of Valles this morning and drove all the way to Mexico City.
