5 5 May 19 & 20 Left Gandy at 8 am 19th for the Dismal River. Crossed the South Loup about a mile north of town. The river here is about 20 ft. wide with a rather marshy border and extensive meadow land on the south side. The new U.P. grade has us just north of the river where the bridge crosses. The sand has blown considerably here in the shallow cuts along the right of way. North of the track we soon entered a great valley extending northward. We were now in the sandy soil again and blowouts were numerous on all sides. Little land has been broken here. The valleys for a number of miles here are north and south , in contrast to an east and west farther north. We angled back and forth from one valley to another all the time workig in a northwest direction through some very fine hay meadows. The ranges of hills are well are well developed here and the bunch grass was about normal. Very little yucca was seeen however for many miles. About 10 mi. north from Gandy the ranges of hills began to assume a more earthly and westerly trend - no characteristic of the northern hills - and we continued to follow there well developed valleys in some of which considerable breaking was done.
