All places that hold water after rain are called water pockets. |
During the night I was awakened by a wolf crunching the bones of a rabbit we had eaten. He was not more than 12 feet from where we were lying, and it being moonlight, I saw him clearly. |
From our camp at the pocket the wall of the Grand Canon was visible some 15 miles down the valley. |
Getting tired of back and bread which is pretty much all we have to eat. |

We had reached the Canon on the second level or edge of the great gulf. Above and around us rose a wall of 2000 feet and below us a vast chasm 2500 feet in perpendicular depth and 1/2 a mile wide. |
We made several photos which will give me all the details I want if I conclude to paint the view. |
