August 26-28, 1934
Sunday Aug. 26, — Left Portland via the beautiful Columbia River hiway, very pretty and a good wide road. Thru “The Dalles” where Linda used to live, on to Umatillo, then to Hermiston and found where Carl and Belle live. Were they every surprised? I guess they had figured we South Dakotans were dying of starvation instead of out touring the US. ha! Stayed here on Sunday night, leaving on Monday morning.
Monday - Tuesday
Back to Umatillo and the hiway again, into Washington to Pasco, to Ritzville, to Spokane a city of 116,000 then to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, and on up to Sandpoint. Here we crossed a bridge 2 1/2 miles long. Found Ada at 520 S. Lavina Did not get to see Clarence as he was out fighting forest fires. Kenneth (8) and Gerald (19mo.) were both cute little boys. Stayed here on Monday night, leaving on Tues. forenoon via Clark Fork, Ida. Thompson Falls, Mont. to Missoula where we stayed on Tues. night. Here we had a 2 room double cabin for $1.25.
