that after I got there feeling scenes when friends are only going on a 2 or 3 day journey from home, We reached [illegible] under a town at 2500 feet about 11 P.M. & remained over night at the hotel. The town lies amidst orchards, alfalfa fields, grain fields, etc. 4 We departed at 7 A.M. & climbed steadily through hill country along the course of a muddy river of glacial appearance. There was nowhere any forest, and about 9,000 feet very little grass even at 11 A.M., we passed over the long tunnel of Las Cienegas at 11,000 feet which marks the summit of the road. People who travel the road often say there is no wolves known here which is in doubt due to the lack of high elevation or the rodents network around [illegible] as Las Cienegas. The Laguna del Dora is a small mountain lake in a narrow valley.
