permanent and good water; ¼ mile to right of road, in the Wash, grass
abundant; good camping ground. Wood near by, ¾ mile to left of road. Up

Three miles beyond Camp near Muddy Cañon is an old government camping
ground, with water all the year; wood and grass abundant. New road
forks to the left, one mile beyond Camp. Two miles further is the Camp
opposite the above mentioned water, one-fourth mile to right of road.
Present camping ground well marked.
This new road intersects old road one mile before reaching Anvil
Rock; is smooth, and avoids the rocky hills on the old road, now very
difficult for loaded teams. Both roads are boggy in winter.
