February 29. He left Los Angeles about four o'clock in the afternoon. We had intended to start at noon, but were delayed by some repairs which had to be made on the brake of the wagon. Just before leaving we had a photograph taken of ourselves, the wagon, and the team. We went through Pasadena to say goodbye to some friends there, and then went on as far as Santa Anita, where we camped. March 1. At about two o'clock in the morning we were awakened by rain falling on our faces, and were obliged to get up and sit in the wagon until the shower ceased. We then hitched up and went on. At Azusa we got a tent, which had been borrowed from one of our party. Near Azusa we saw a number of Bell's Sparrows in the chaparral. We found a nest of the California Shrike containing three eggs, and an unfinished nest of Bell's Sparrow. The weather was very cold all day. We stopped at night near Claremont. March 2. We travelled all day and camped about four miles from San Bernardino. It was cold and very windy all day and rained a little in the afternoon. Bell's and Nevada Sage Sparrows were very common along the road. As it was raining when we stopped we pitched our tent, fortunately as it appeared, because it rained very hard in the night. March 3. The weather was so bad in the morning that we decided to remain where we were, as we were partly sheltered from the storm. It rained hard all morning and in the afternoon, began to snow.
