PS. 042. 20 April 2007. Facing southwest, Azimuth 250. Pasture 8. Elevation 1286 m. ISO 100, 35mm focal length, Canon 5D Digital Camera. No witness, cairn built, painted white, camera above. Blade of former witness post is present next to cairn. Matches all photo directions very well. Mesquite, catlcaw acacia, ocotillo, Calliandra, Krameria present. Lehmann lovegrass is only perennial grass. Ocotillo present in 1936 is now behind mesquite on left, but far right ocotillo probably older than 1936 but it was out of 1936 view and therefore no confirmation. Mesquite foreground left not obvious in 1936 photo, but present in 1956 photo. Prickly pear present. Compared to 2000, much less grass. M. McClaran photographer, no assistant.
