The road now began to enter gently rolling hills covered with big grass and clover, which indicated rich soil, and we never get tired of talking about it.
At the top of these hills we had another beautiful view as far south and west as the eye could reach.

Small objects, probably horses and cattle, were scattered about the plain, grazing in the midst of plenty.

Our own animals were given frequent opportunities to eat, and again and again we rejoiced over the beauty.

Of course it was not such a surprise and wonder as it was when such a view first burst upon our sight, but it pleased and delighted us ever.

On the east was a snow-capped peak, and here we were in the midst of green fields of grass and wild flowers, in the softest climate of an early spring.
