Tells of 25,000 Mile Trip Across U. S. To Alaskan Wilds Mr. and Mrs. Robert Patton to friends during their 25,000 trailer trip across the United States to Alaska. The Patton‘s left Highland Park July 26, 1938, returning home Sept. 6, 1939. They went into Alâ€" aska July 17, 1938 remaining all during the winter and returning to Seattle March 10 the following spring : Dear Gang: The following letter from Sequoin National Park, completes the series This will be the last episode as| our plans have changed and we are headed toward home the end of this week. We spent six weeks in Santa Monica and then decided we would run up here for a couple of weeks before braving the torrid weather en route to Loredo, Texas and Mexâ€" ico. Coming into Bakersfield our second speed refused to function as a brake kept slipping out, so I went into the service station to find out "how come."

We kept quite comfortable last winter at 40 below, but Lord help me if I should even try to tell anyone I enjoyed 115 above, with only a slight drop as night fell.

By the time we reached the park one and all of us were completely done up. Dick celebrated with a fever of 103, so we shoved him into bed and it came down during the night. Howâ€" ever by the next evening he comâ€" plained of a pain in his side, so we took him to the Emergency hospital and found his appendix was inâ€" flamed. A blood count showed norâ€" mal, so ice packs, oil, etc., were apâ€" plied. However, we are scared to face the heat en route to Mexico and the hot food after crusing the borâ€" der. Our plans now are to take the northern route through Yellowstone, Glacier and across Canada to Duâ€" luth. Sequoia is truly grand, the Big trees ever an inspiration of the beauty of nature. I got a fishing liâ€" cense so have been whipping the nearby streams after the wily trout. Some of them are so big here in California, that you can even see them without glasses, while others, if they are badly hooked, prick your conscience â€" for: days after for robbing the cradle. 1 will say emâ€" phatically though, my conscience is more elastic than my tummy and any pricking thereof quickly disapâ€" pears as these delicious midgets go into my mouth. Before the 4th they were dumb and plentiful. Now they know their way about and don‘t have to walk home, don‘t even carry carfare. Sue was most disappointed last week. 1 had wanted to climb Alta Peak (11,211 ft.) but could find no one that ambitious, so decided if I had to go alone 1 would be ferried to the top on the back of a horse.

Each time Queen would look wistfully around at the back trail and with longing in her eyes glance upward to me. When she saw me serenely enjoying the surâ€" rounding landscape and showed no intention of dismounting she would turn back to the upward trek. Howâ€" ever, each time she would remark, "You great lummox, why pick on a lady, get off and walk." At least this was what I understood.

I finally enticed a pass out of Warner Bros., through the Santa Monica Rotary, so Sue and I went through the studio. . Unfortunately no four star pictures were in proâ€" duction, but we watched a couple of lesser importance. _ Another night we went out to the S. S. Rex anchored three miles off shore, to gamble.

My appreciation was limited to zero, and at times I had to pick my way through the fog to make sure Queen had not left me with only carfare.
