[1] Half a mile further the road forks to the left, to Camp Goodwin.
The grasses in Arizona nearly all come up from the root, unlike those
of California, which grow from the seed. Therefore, in Arizona, if
there should be a year without rain, stock would not die of starvation.
The nutritious gramma grass does not appear to run to seed at all.
