National Park at the north.
Much of this area through
Utah is very and and non
farming with only sage
brush and cactus growing.
Prior to entering these two
parks it is a mountainous
range area for sheep and
cattle.
We again saw the snow
capped Rocky Mountains in
the Teton National Park but
none in Yellowstone area
because they were not near
ly as high, with much more
forest area along with a
beautiful large lake and sev
eral species of wild life in
cluding brown and black
bear, elk and moose along
With smaller animals.
We were most amazed of
the tameness of the wildlife,
especially the bear and elk
of which we took pictures at
very close range.
We visited the falls and
the boiling springs and then
to Old Faithful which erupts
approximately each hour.
Quake Region
Our departure of Yellow
stone was at the west gate,
which is the area where the
severe damage of the earth
quake took place recently.
We drove along the dam
which was cracked by the
quake on our way to Butte,
Montana.
Early in the morning as
we drove northwest through
Montana, we passed slowly
through a large flock of
sheep driven up the main
highway for several miles to
pasture with the assistance
of sheep dogs, cowboys on
horseback and a pickup
truck.
After traveling through
wes.em Montana which is
mostly beef and sheep graz
ing area, we arrived in Spo
kane, Washington, - and then
on to Yakima, Washington.
Again through this area
irrigation is most important
due to the little rainfall they
receive.
Large dams such as Grand
Coulee and others make irri

crops were bemg grown
The Yakima, area is known
for large orchards. While we
were there, the picking of
the large red cherries was
in progress—which we en
joyed sampling.
The next day we toured
Mt. Rainier National Park
m the rain and fog. The area
had the most snow on our
trip.
At Paradise Inn in this
park there was 20 feet of
snow still around the build
ings, however, the tempera
ture was only 40’ F while
visiting the Inn.
We were disappointed upon
being dnable to see the top
of Mt Rainier due to the
fog and ram.
However, we continued on
our way and crossed the Co
lumbia river at Portland,
Oregon and stayed overnight
at Salem, capital ox Oregon.
Plum Picking
While in Oregon, a County
Agent, of Dallas County,
whom I met in summer
school in Colorado, showed
me the greatest blue plum
growing area of the United
States which is in his coun
ty, which is also a very good
agriculture area because of
greater rainfall and location
near the Pacific coast.
The County Agent also
took us through a large ply
wood mill and we observed
all steps in the manufactur
ing of this product.
After leaving the coastal
area and driving inland, we
again noticed very unpro
ductive land due to more
and conditions on our way
to Crater Lake.
This lake is located on the
top of a snow covered moun
tain and is very blue in col
or, when you are looking
down into the lake.
We headed back toward
the coastal region and arriv
ed in Northern California,
driving down the Redwood
highway where .the massive
Redwood trees are to be

As we approached the San

It is in this area that irri

Disneyland
After touring she child
ren’s mecca of colorful Dis
neyland, we headed for the
desert of western
and on to Las Vegas, Nevada
Then to .Zion National
Park which is famous for the
unusal color rock formations.
We continued-.jon through
this hot and dry desert area
to the Grand Canyon of Ari
zona where again beautiful
rock formations were formed
by the flow of the Colorado
river through the mile deep
canyon.
