Vacation Time In The Rockies And Redwoods
A long reminiscence of a Californian coastal journey from San Rafael to San Francisco and Los Angeles. The author details Redwood Empire scenery, tourists sights like Redwood burls, the Golden Gate Bridge, Treasure Island, Alcatraz, and a Frisco fair. He notes encounters with relatives, oil fields in Taft, and cautions from police during travel. The piece closes with anticipation of continuing southward.
