May 28, 1914. - Camped in an ideal spot in the Cajon. The ca_on is a narrow valley here bounded by the chaparral-covered hills. The very gentle slope of the valley in the opposite side, across the river is a flowery garden beautifully and tastefully diversified by shrubs of various species, these latter melting above into the chaparral. We have wood and good grass for the horses. A little streamlet of mountain water gurgles past, and the quail call contentedly or excitedly in the thickets behind us.
