Kearsarge Sierra Trip Aug 11. Our party for the Trip - Wm Magee, Karl Riley and Harold Merriman left Los Angeles by S.P. Train. At noon we passed the Mint Canon and down to Mojave. Since the Beavers Valley train leaves at 4 A.M. we had some time on our hands. The afternoon was spent promenading the unique Mojave City Dumps. The desert here is covered chiefly with one of the "Aftersfly" and Cacorita Bush. Incidentally about the only birds seen were Palestine Kingbird
