 Note.--During the months of July, August, and September, water
will be found at almost any part of the road from La Casita to
Hermosillo. There is no lack of wood or grass on any part of the
road from Guaymas to the frontier. The only difficulty in
encamping at almost any point upon the road is that of obtaining
water in the dry season, i.e., from February to the first of
July. The remarks for each place apply to the most unfavorable
seasons.
