Bagdad, Cali. , Saturday July 30, 1910 .
Breakfasted here at 6 a.m. 1 1/2 hours late. Cloudy and hot. Started on at 7 a.m. Breakfast 50¢ fruit 25¢. We are going through a region of dissected lava flows, the mountains being abrupt, with broad fans of broken rock, gravel and sand occupying the valleys, sparsely covered with a desert flora. They sent us around over the new road to avoid a washout. At 11 a.m. we stopped at Parker , a new town in the copper region, where we got dinner. 112° + in the shade. Left Parker , at 1:15 p.m. Reached A and C Jct. at 6 p.m. and waited there until 8 :15 for our engine to go and get water and fuel and for an extra engine to help up the grades to Prescott . Then we made another, long stop soon afterwards. It has rained in the nearby mountains yesterday and today.
