Georgetown at noon on October and driving renled 1975 Cordoba with cubic inch engine and cruise control John and I drove for hours straight ending up In Colorado Springs Down to Springfield and west on Highway we passed through Indianapolis St Louis and Kansas City From there it was all prairie cruising on a long straight stretch of road My journal says Today we drove across the prairies of Kansas and damned if Hints not the most boring stretch road I ve ever seen It wo raining as we drove Into Colorado Springs and the mountains we were so eager to iee were obscured by clonds hanging low over the black bulk of the Rockies like a shroud we were told there was heavy snow above feet The next day John and I drove south hoping the wealh would Improve so we could This hillside plantation the shadow of one at the many mountainous peak on bland of Metro The peaks throat almost vertically from the sea in places dwarfing everything them The island Is the site fer a Crab Med on Its most secluded side go up Into the mountains In Walcnsberg Colorado we headed west on Highway 160 and started up Into North La Vela Pass The Cordoba had troubles negotiating the 9 Toot elevation through the he a snow We were driving 20 miles an hour by the time we reached the top and when we got down we decided to head south for Santa Fe In New Mexico we filled up In a little gas a lion made of adobe The proprietor was right out of one of my favorite movies The Last Picture Show heavy set tall grey haired He seemed genuinely pleased tosee us we were actual customers pro bably a rare enough breed out here After we paid for the gas he struck up a conversation and asked if It was easy to buy Hold him and explained about all the restrictions Involved in obtaining and owning one I also mentioned that It Is com easy to buy a rifle something he had a little trou understanding I suppose I can blame him I told him that the theory is handguns are small and more likely to be used to ah at which point he pointed his finger at John brought his thumb down like a hammer and went kcr pow Yen I said That the general Idea As we walked out saw a magnum and a western style Colt 44 on sale just below the candy and gum The was a mere all come back now he called after us The next day we drove through Arizona s petrified Forest and Painted Desert National Park you are asked not to take any of the silicates that form petrified wood Fair enough I m all for preserving rare landscapes and besides the view of the painted desert was nothing short of spectacular the petrified wood tan I wood anymore but color silicates and minerals which replaced the cellulose fibres many thousands of years ago when the land in the region sank As the land rose again the petrified wood was exposed for all to see I t resist the tempU lion to stick a few small beautifully colored pieces in my pocket On the way out there a parkowned store where you can purchase some pieces of the petrified wood in Jewelry settings and other high priced odds and ends When is the Cordoba John and I drove across the United Slates Angeles It took us four dajs and miles of to get there Is seen here in the Calif desert about three hours away 1 you finally leave the park there is a guard who asks you If you vc got any silicates in your possession and natural you say no Outs Ihc gate about half a mile down the road you come across a store that sells the stuff for five cents a pound and further down the road there arc stores giving it away if you go in and buy something else The people In the park ask you to keep hands off the stuff not only to preserve the park but also In Ihc hope you will buy some of the expensive Items in their store Makes you eel like a fool for stealing a few of their pctules Some 700 miles aler we

ability to gamble Smart lad that After having Coors for breakfast and I was ready to face the next day After having seen the sights JP and I headed for Las Angeles where we spent 10 days with friends visiting the usual tourist spots includ rig Disneyland the Studios Malibu Beach Leaving LA we flew to Papeete Tahiti landing in the early hours of the morning alter spending hours on the plane The first thing we dis covered was that the city is very expensive in view of the budgets we d set for our trav els However we did meet a Malaysian Akbar Shah who had the remarkable ability to cose a city in as little as half a day and come up with a good selection of cheap restaurants local In Papeete itself was not what I had envisioned it to be Gone are the rough and tumble sailor shars that had made the a hundred years ago Bars like of the South Pacific and the old ma Bar have cither been torn down or have burned down and been replaced by rather sterile shopping centres to make the North can and European tourist feel at home That sail part of the French govern plan to turn the islands into an authentic South Sea Paradise In many respects it unfortunate I do recall one night we sat In a called the Col Bleu which is situated on the water front has a good view of the harbor We sat on old wooden chairs at equally old tables and ordered the local beer called R from our chairs we could watch the Tahltians play their own form of Russian Roulette with scooters whizzing in and out precariously between the cars Many of the cars drove without their lights on relying up on street lamps which were wholly inadequate During the time we were there only one bald headed little fellow became separated from his scooter as a Fiat turned a corned and cut him off Two policemen watching th scene were more intent on looking at the young ladies who i a tit- up and down the at night and did thing to intervene Beside the fire department boys seemed to be right op of things leaving the free to pursue other interests No charges were laid only apolo gies seemed necessary One day John and I took a trip over to the island of Moorea and acquired the sunburns In the- islands To gel there we boarded a boat called the which had advertised free transportation on the Island but didn t produce However that didn damp en our spirits as we set off on a fivemile hike from one side of the islands highest peak a round its back to Cook Bay on Ihc other side In the process we not only got sunburn but were soaked in a torrential downpour The refreshing rain was probably the nicest part of the whole walk as it seeped through the trees we were under cooling our weary bo dies OLDTIME Also on the island of there is the last of the old time bars I mentioned earlier cat led The One Chicken Inn
