Monday August 20, 1934
Monday — started with intentions of getting to Kardells at Eugene before dark but we did enjoy the scenery at the McKenzie Pass and took more time than we should have looking at the lava beds and snow covered mountain peaks. Stopped at a cabin (Eugene) for the nite $1.00. (poorest of all)
Tuesday — found Fred Kardell first, he took us to see Delbert, George and his family and then out to Charley & Blanche, Charles Ray and Jackie had grown a lot. The baby was 7 1/2 months old and goes by by the name of Buck. We were here for dinner and then thru a saw mill and a cannery. Stayed here all night leaving after Breakfast on Wed. Had the swellest onions here I have ever eaten (Bermuda).

Wed. — went to Salem and out to Ted’s place near Macleay, according to Elmo’s directions, just in time for dinner, visited the rest of afternoon and then to Aunt Carries in evening mother staying and the rest of us returning with Ted and Mable.
On Thursday to a picnic at Silver Creek Falls where we swiped lots of ferns growing wild everywhere. Also drove around by Silverton on return road. Saw many places of interest in Salem which Mabel and Ted showed us.
Ted and Mable Olson with Arlene, Geneva and Roy
Ted is brother to Ida Wright in previous post. Their mother is Carrie sister to Selma's mother, Lena. Now I understand why Grandma had a family/mostly town history of Macleay in the Waldo Hills, Oregon Theodore W. Olson self published in 1975. Tucked inside are hand written notebook pages of Arlene's for her Civics class in 1939.
