Travel diary recounts US West Coast trip and friends
The letter notes a two week Texington to coast drive with good roads and sunny weather. It mentions visits with Staman and Los Reece Hock in Denver, a southern route via Mesa near Phoenix, and greetings from Gordon Stoners in a trailer home near Safford. The writer recalls a New Year Roses Parade in California, winter travel through Nebraska, and many Iowa friends in Pasadena, Long Beach, Berkeley, and elsewhere.
