This morning by 8.30 after a heavy dew and fog we leave Monday Dry Creek for about five miles. All of this length the sage hens are very abundant and every body is out with his gun. Results about 100 chickens. They are very tame and often two or three shots will be fired at a bird before it flies. We then cross the higher land and by more afternoon granite hills, the Indian River into where we have lunch. Here another heavy rain overtakes us and by 2 P.M. we start for the Platte Cane where we arrive by 5.30. After leaving our mon day lunch place we pass around the granite hills and up a ridge onto the highest Tertiary strata. Here we have a grand view of the granite hills and in the distance to the north are Ferris Mt., Passing up to higher ground we eventually descend and to our left are an extensive area of Red beds dipping away and are un- conformable beneath the Tertiary beds. This view is picturesque and mountainous.
