Monday, 13th. Traveled about 15 miles south, between salt plains on the E. and high mts. on the W.

It doesn’t look like much, but it’s water.

According to the trail guide at scienceviews.com, the Bidwell-Bartleson Party was camped at Shibley Springs. They were lucky to almost always find a spring where they could camp for the night and refresh their animals. They are skirting along the eastern slope of the Pilot Range and getting close to the bottom of this map.
