d hard, with little
vegetation. In 14 miles pass springs, but the water is not
good. In 16 miles the road passes a slough which is difficult
to cross; water not good, but can be given to cattle in small
quantities. In five miles from this the road passes Black
Rock, mentioned by Colonel Fremont in his trip from Columbia
River in 1843-4. Three miles farther pass boiling springs,
very hot, but good cooled. Grass pretty good.

20-1/4. Mountain Rill.--Water good; bunch-grass in the vicinity. In
eight miles' travel the road passes a beautiful creek of pure
water, with good grass.

5-3/4. Lake (Marshy).

10-1/2. High Rock Canon.--This canon is 25 miles long, with wild and
curious scenery. Road crosses the creek frequently, and the
mud is bad. In the autumn the road is good.

14-3/4. High Rock Canon.

Small Creek.--Beautiful country, with the greatest abundance
of water and grass; also fuel.

25-1/4. Pine Grove Creek.--Road passes over an interesting country,
well supplied with wood, water, and grass, and passes around
the south end of a salt lake.

18-1/2. West Slope of Sierra.--Road passes over the mountain, which
is steep but not rocky, then descends to a small creek of good
water which runs into Goose Lake. Good grass and fuel. Look
out for the Indians, as they are warlike and treacherous here.

7-3/4. East shore of Goose Lake.--Excellent camp.

16-1/4. West shore of Goose Lake.--This is a beautiful sheet of
fresh water; great quantities of water-fowl resort to this
lake.

16-1/4. Slough Springs.--The road passes over a very rocky divide,
covered with loose volcanic debris, very hard for animals, and
wearing to their feet. They should be well shod before
attempting the passage.

18-1/2. Marshy Lake.--Road difficult for wagons.

15. Clear Lake.--Beautiful lake of pure water, with good grass
around its shore.

25-1/4. East shore of Rhett's Lake.--Road tolerable over a rolling,
rocky country, between lakes. The road crosses Lost River over
a natural bridge, on a solid, smooth ledge of rock.

19. West shore of Rhett's Lake.--Plenty of wood, water, and
grass along this road.
