Bright morning. For the first time I shaved while train was in motion and with not trouble or cuts. Cool breeze all day. Fine stream and marshes for mollusks etc. , just east of Evans . Does not look good for fossils. Red predominates in rocks from Salt Lake to Evans . and further. The tunnel 50 minutes from Evans . (east) occupied 4 1/2 minutes at fair speed. Bluffs, probably Tertiary,
