Bagdad, Cali., Saturday July 30, 1910.
Breakfasted here at 6 a.m. 1 1/2 hours late. Cloudy and hot. Started on at 7 a.m. Breakfast 50¢ fruit 25¢. We are going through a region of dissected lava flows, the mountains being abrupt, with broad fans of broken rock, gravel and sand occupying the valleys, sparsely covered with a desert flora. They sent us around over the new road to avoid a washout. At 11 a.m. we stopped at Parker, a new town in the copper region, where we got dinner. 112° + in the shade. Left Parker, at 1:15 p.m. Reached A and C Jct. at 6 p.m. and waited there until 8 :15 for our engine to go and get water and fuel and for an extra engine to help up the grades to Prescott. Then we made another, long stop soon afterwards. It has rained in the nearby mountains yesterday and today.
