sandy was were taken 1 Perognathus
longimembis, 1 Dipodomys meriamii &
2 Peromyscus maniculatus.
We camped overnight at this place

The whole trip from Sulphur was thus
comparatively flat country. The 1st 14

this part of the trip other than a few
Sarcobatus bushes growing along the
dry Quinn River bed.
