Camps can be found at short intervals along the road. 14. Head of Humboldt River.--Fine camping-places, and road generally good, running over a rolling country. 23. Slough of the Humboldt.--Extensive bottoms of good grass. 20. Humboldt River.--Along the entire course of the Humboldt good grass is found in the bottoms. The road, which follows the bottom, is hard and smooth, but can not be traveled in seasons of very high water, as the bottom overflows. It is then necessary to take the road on the bluffs, where the grass is scarce. The river, when not above a fording stage, can be forded at almost any point, and good camps can be found at short intervals. There are spots along the river bottom where alkaline ponds are frequent. These are poisonous to cattle, and should be avoided by travelers. It is well along this river not to allow animals to drink any water except from the river where it is running. 20. Humboldt River.--The foregoing remarks apply for every camp on the Humboldt River. 22. Humboldt River.--Good camps along the Humboldt Va
