Friday- Dec. 25-1925. In Arizona. Accompanied by Mr and Mrs W.J. Stohlberg of Denver, Colo. and Mother Mann we started forth on Christmas day to enjoy a picnic dinner at Camp Creek. Getting on the wrong road, some body suggested that we go to Black Canyon instead and toward that point we headed. We drove and drove on corrugated (slightly) and, in places dusty roads until the driver weared of desert and a sameness of scenery and suggested that we stop at the first sign of water. At a corner store, kept by a "lumper", we learned that there was water on a branch road a mile or two beyond, and so we found it and a fair camp spot in the glorious hills where somebody had had a home sometime. The crude fence is made from Ocotillo (oc'o'tee'o) branches. On Tues. 29th Mrs Stohler- mother and ? picknicked at Clear Creek. Mother -I got- terrible colds. 3 lions were killed on Cam C a day or so later.
