1 1 Sand Hills 1912 May 16 & 11 am. left Lincoln via Burlington to Grand Island . From latter place took U.P. fro North Platte where I arrived at 8:30 P.M. same day. Had lunch on train. Evening I looked up stage driver and found he had a load for Friday so was compelled to wait until Saturday, May 18, to go to Gandy . Friday, I went out to the North Platte Experimental Substation . Walked out across the valley which here is about three miles wide south of the city. Crossed the North Platte and then came upon the flat hand land of the valley. Much alkali showed here, and Distichlis spicata was everywhere abundant. There was little water in the South Platte at this time - the river being cut into many small in rivulets or channels with much sand between. The shore was lined by willows of the longifolia group. At the station I met Burr and Snyder and Zook. Took dinner with them at the home of Mr. Stackhouse. I went into the bluffs back of the station to see the native vegetation there. Leucocrinum montanum was in its prime and Erysimum asperum was also at its height. The former was found in societies on lower hard land, the latter as usual scattered.
