Salt Plain
The next morning starting early a N W course about 1 O'Clock I came to a little ravine in which was some grass and a spring here I encamped. The country since leaving the Colorado has been a dry rocky sandy Barren desert. As my guides informed me that we had a hard days travel to make I moved off early keeping west down the ravine 5 miles. Then S W and W S W till when I came to border of a salt plain and at this place found some holes of Brackish water. The water was in holes dug about two feet deep and quite brackish making some new holes I found the water some better.
