Mina at La Raya Pass the English pass between Jalisco + Cojaro, Many bunch of a small agave spines were seen but on Rocky ride bunches much more trees were also seen on the creeps. The peak of La Raya has no large glacier on its western summit, at Agua Caliente just below the crest there is but a spring which flows on the side of the pass. The valley is very narrow here and continues on to Jote Sangui or Marangari Slo. The crops of barley were rife all down the valley, it took 14 and the country looks like fall rather than midsummer. Red soil everywhere from Jalisco of a rather dark red color + adobe consistency. The Jote Sangui can not be seen from the PR very across the mtns in another valley. I can no open plains suitable for Vicunyas or Huemeros about J. Sangui there may be broad bank for people who Vicunyas could live, just before reaching Sincan mine.
