Collections of fossils and rock specimens from the Grand Canyon and other parts of this district were made. Crossing eastward to the Little Colorado River, and then northward to the trading post at Tuba, we secured our last supply of grain and provisions before entering on the most strenuous part of our journey, the crossing of the Painted Desert. Already we had suffered some difficulty in securing water fit to drink and sufficient grass for the horses. At Tuba we were disappointed to find no g...rain, except a little Indian corn, which the horses did not seem to regard with favor. With little prospect of grass on the desert, the outlook was discouraging. The weather was now intensely hot, so that we found it advisable to travel mainly at night, resting during the day. Accordingly we usually arose about three or four in the morning, drove until the heat became oppressive, rested until six in the evening, then drove until well into the night, or until we lost our way in the darkness. During the middle of the day we erected a canvas awning to protect ourselves from the sun, but even in the shade thus afforded our thermometer registered 115 and we found it difficult to sleep.
