Grass gets better. The crossings of this creek were either bridged or paved by the troops in 1858. But little grass in this valley. Spring in the dry bed of the creek. Grass poor and water bad.
South Fork is a find stream of good water.
Grass and sage plenty. Water bitter when the creek is down, but tolerable in high water. Road rough, with numerous ravines. Road good, but little grass except in spots. Sage for fuel.
