Mayhew 1959 Journal 4. Jan. 24 Colorado Desert, Riverside Co., Calif. but we stopped at that point; it crosses Dillon Road 2.3 miles north of the junction of Highway 60 & Dillon Road. 6.8 miles from the same junction, we turned north on a road up Berndt Canyon. This road is paved for 3.2 miles, and ranges in altitude from 750 ft. to 1640 ft. (paved portion). It is in a deep canyon & looks like an excellent area for night collecting. 3.7 miles further west we drove up a road labelled Happy Valley. This road is paved for 2 miles, and ranges in elevation from 1260 ft. to 1700 ft. At this road junction, it is 18 miles to Indio, 22 miles to Barstow. We followed Dillon Road for another 16.6 miles, then turned south on Mountain View Road to reach our campsite within view of "Granddaddy Dave". We went to bed at 2330. The minimum temp. tonight was 44° F. The altitude reads 670 ft. at the campsite. Jan. 25 We arose this morning at 0800. After breakfast we took our soil samples at Station III on Granddaddy Dave. a black stake is in the ground at the location of the sampling station, and a rock cairn was erected (sample taken at 0900.)
