McBoll Ojo Sajuna, Chihuahua, 5000 ft. el. Mexico.
March 16.
Returned from Chihuahua at
4 p.m. - did not go to the field
Elevation - Jon Christman told
me that there was some
uncertainty regarding the elevation of
this camp. I checked my altimeter
on leaving camp and on reaching
Chihuahua 1/2 hrs. later. And again
on our return, when we left
Chihuahua and when we reached
camp. Going to Chihuahua our altimeter
registered a drop of about 350 feet and on the
return a gain of about the same
amount. Our A&P basket gives
the altitude of Chihuahua as
4593. If we add 350 feet to that
we get Ojo Sajuna (altitude) of a prop. 5000 ft. My altimeter seems to be somewhat
too much but difficult to read closer than
estimated 100 feet.
Later
notions lead
- I believe
my altimeter is too much
but difficult

Trees in leaf and bird singy
in Chihuahua. Makes it appear
that Chihuahua is considerably lower
than Ojo Sajuna but that one
may be due to the fact.
