Description
After crossing Mesquite
Dry Lake, ^ [illegible] we began going
upgrade with a great mt scene
ahead. [line drawing] with
a baby peak in between two
sloping walls, which appeared
to form no opening for a roadway.
But we had learned that an
apparently solid wall often had an
opening, or overlapping fold at
close range tho we had fun
guessing which way the road
would lead us.
When thru this gateway we saw
a mt enclosed with garden.
Distance is so deceptive in the
clear western atmosphere, but I'd
say it was three or more miles
across this beautiful nature
garden to an opening on the opposite
side. When thru it we ran into a
down grade ^and a rather narrow
wall lined roadway where we
had a puncture and I saw my chance
to pick flowers galore. This was when
I found beautiful light blue daisies
