S. Calif. & East Appl. Lst. B. Thorne last June,
Took the Golden State Limited at Colton at
1:30 P.M., The weather was warm & dusty. We
passed out of the valley thru San Gorgonio Pass,
no snow seen visible on the high San Bern.
San Jacinto Mtns. At dusk we reached Salt
Sea & skirted its margin. It is a permanent
body of water now but has no vegetable growth
near the shore or on the surface. It has every appearance
of being only a few months old. T
