The Smoke Mountains could be seen by turning our faces toward the south-west - fully fifty miles off - to the East we could see beyond the Pecos and on the North the Guadalupe range altho' two miles or more off unclear within pistol shot - in the bright sunlight - with the Mountain peaks towering upward from three to four thousand feet high. The scene was constantly changing like clouds floating in the sky. Yet always beautiful - look where you would. I've passed a number of fine springs between Camp and the Mouth of the Canyon and at Volunteer Creek passed a large herd of sheep which were being herded by Mexicans. When we saw them they seemed or looked small white rocks on the side of Mountain - but they were moving Eastward & not unclear down hill.
