the valley of Pelican Creek
Wednesday, August 23, 1871, from Albert Peale's journal: "Pelican Creek valley is quite wide where we entered it, the creek winding through it in a beautiful serpentine manner. It is full of ducks and geese, some of which were shot. Shooting at the ducks did not seem to frighten them at all. There are a number of springs along the banks, some hot and some cold. I got a specimen from one which is evidently at times a geyser." [2]
