Oct. 16- Took the new electric cars to Mt. Vernon. Being Sunday they 
stopped at Little Hunting Creek. Potomac clays and sands were visible 
in several of the cuts on the way down. There is a deep cut half a mile 
north of the gate into the grounds, and here there is no Potomac, but 
there are 5 or 6 feet of marine deposits, Chesapeake clays above and 
apparently Pamunkey Greensand below. 
I tried to go around the grounds
