-Simi Valley is well-covered with oaks, the Quercus lobata being very prominent. This is probably the last Coast Valley southward where it is found. As we cross over the Santa Susanna Pass and go down into the San Fernando Valley I meet the Valley Oak again. It occurs on the high west side of the valley in deep rich soils--rather fine trees.
We run on thru the valley and pass thru a cut in the hills to Hollywood, thence to Los Angeles, where I leave my sister and go on down to Oceanside where I am joined by H. A. Dutton for the trip into the Colorado Desert.
