Prenderfoot Tourist Talks or The Wail of Automobilists
A humorous travel sketch extols touring along the N O T through deserts and towns from Needles to Los Angeles. It blends comic verses and letters from an unnamed tourer about heat, sand, thirst, and the desire to reach California, with cautions about shortcuts and highway wisdom. The piece ends noting snowballs ripening in Iowa and Illinois and a playful nod to Sunny Californians.
