There is neither feed or water since we left the green river to this place but is similar to the last 200 miles. A sandy desert coverd with sage, but we find good grass on the Streams. Most of the day was vary Hot & dusty yet towards night we saw A hard shower of rain. Some wind towards the mountains. A few drops reached us in this country.
