User-Contributed Transcription luxuries of camp lifeKeeping pretty well back from Rogue River, generally through a timbered country, following dividing ridges, and to maintain our Course occasionally crossing deep canyons and gorges, in due course of time we reached a point on the River, again perhaps about 30 miles in a direct Course from the ocean, country generally timbered with occasionally a prarie or bald hills appearingFrom a high and prominent point near by we had a fair view of the Country to the Eastward and a magnificent sight it was to look at, yet not very encouraging to us as explorersA solid mass of mountains rising one above the other until they were hid in the dim distance was all that appeared visible.Heavy timber appeared to cover the mountains nearly everywhere, but now and then the scenery varied a trifle from the general rule, and a high rocky pinnacle was to be seen shooting up tower shaped towards the sky or small sections of Bald hills would occasionally appear in the distance, rendering this a most beautiful locality to study the wonders, and mysteries of nature
