The following are excerpts from letters received from Ira Fahnestock, Manheim H 4, reporter for the group. June 27 We first went to Gettysburg to visit Presi dent Eisenhower’s farm. Af ter viewing the farm, we headed for the Skyline Drive and Natural Bridge. We fin ally found a place to camp out in a farmer’s meadow near Buchanan, Virginia. This is the best - spot we could find that night and possibly the best spot we had all week. We drove approxi mately 317 miles through nice clear weather June 28, Tuesday By the tune we got out of the mountains, it was raining After driving several miles for a place to sleep inside, we decided to set up our tent on an airfield south of the smokies. We traveled approx imately 345 miles through mostly mountainous country. Friday, July I—We stayed at New Orleans until 12 noon. We washed our clothes here while our chaperone, Mr Brossman, went down town to get Bob Lowe’s cam era fixed. The camera had broken Monday morning while taking a picture of a pretty woman. While all this was gomg on the two chefs got the favorite meal ready. Thus far the favorite is Ham, green beans and potatoes. Af ter eating, we left for Hobbs, New Mexico. We drove straight through Friday night to make up for time lost during the morning. Saturday, July 2 We •drove through Texas and vis ited Fort Hood. Sunday, July 3—We tour ed Carlsbad Caverns and headed for Elpaso, Texas. We camped about eight miles outside Elpaso after taking a short tour through Mexico. During the first week we travelled approximately 2100 miles through the Eastern and Southern Coast. On Monday, July 4th we left Elpaso and headed for Albequerque, New Mexico where we met some very nice people (by the name of) Car los Sanchez. These people let us use their home as though we were part of the family. We were very glad for this because we could finally take a bath. I don’t know if it was possible to get off all the dirt, but we got some of it off. Tuesday, July 5 we saw Indian Pueblo and chff dwellings. On Tuesday night after paying a $26.50 fine in Colorado we slept on the Kimball T. M. Cormack Horse Ranch where we were provided with a shed to sleep in because it was rain ing. We decided this ranch is a must for anyone travel ing through Colorado Wednesday, July 6 We &et up the tent on the Cor mack ranch because we were planning to stay here three days. While traveling toward Pikes Peak we came to a Smorgasbord where we could get as much as we could eat for $.85, so we ate $2 00 worth of food. After travel ing Pikes Peak we saw the Petrified Forest and Cripple Creek we returned to the ranch for the night On Thursday, July 7, We ate breakfast at the Smorgas bord again We saw Royal Gorge, Buckskin Joe, and the colorful Seven Falls at night. On Friday, July Bth, the Comtacks invited us for breakfast. Here we met an other nice family by the name of Wright from Illinois Mr. Cormack was busy mak ing pancakes for 22 people, but he made them as fast as we ate them Saturday, July 9—We left the Cormack ranch and ate breakfast at the smorgasbord again. We toured the Air force Academy, and the Den ver stock yards. Sunday morning we ar rived at Salt Lake The wea ther is either rainy or hot. Everyone is getting along fine and enjoying the trip. We travelled about 1,800 miles this week. • Ideal for cows on pasture or for feeding with high quality roughage. • Dari-Flo is high in total digestible nutrients to provide full milk-mahing power. • There's no ingredient separation with cdl-pellcted Dari-Flo. it's just right for bulk handling .. • • minimizes bridging and feed waste. • For quality and economy ... switch to Farm Bureau 14 % Dari-Flo.
