1927 P. 4 Los Esesmiles, Dept. Chalatenango, Salvador water which seeps out farther up the mountain sides and gives off to the east where a good sized stream makes the Honduranian boundary and flows off to the Lempa. Dense clumps of blackberry vines are common along the stream banks and usually about the head of the ravines where the water seeps in from all sides are patches of green grass. At this time of the year everything in the plains region is grazed close. There are few fences and the stock is allowed to roam at large. Even the wheat and corn fields are almost barren. During the afternoon when the low and misty clouds come driving across the fields it gives one the feeling of an approaching snow storm in the states. Our Barometer calls for 6400 here at camp. To the west the mountain of Los Esesmiles arises showing tall pines and in one or two places the edges of rainy or misty oak regions.
