Johns and Gibson describe tire wear and fuel usage on a cross country trip from coast to coast. They report 370 gallons used over 5000 miles, gas at 19.0 cents per gallon, and high prices peaking at 11 cents per gallon. They invite friends to visit the West, remark on crowded highways, camp facilities, and the idea that cities will grow as irrigation expands. They note goods arriving in Los Angeles and plans to buy a home there, closing with personal greetings to friends and family.
