Charles Thielson, famed as an explorer of the Colorado desert, undertook a hazardous journey from the Colorado River mouth to Salton, covering over 600 miles. Beginning May 10 from Yuma in an 18 foot skiff, he hunted for crane plumes, then followed the New River to Volcano Mountain and camped before turning toward Salton on foot after realizing returning by boat was impossible. He reached Salton where G W Durbrow aided him with provisions, and Thielson planned to return to his boat for his gear, noting the marsh water would likely remain shallow due to evaporation and a single inflow.
