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.
