Robbins' Auto Trip To California Chronicle of a long road trip
Michigan travelers recount a Christmas departure from Saline and a three week southern California exploration. The narrative spans snowbound starts, rolling deserts, mountain passes, Will Rogers tomb, and California sights including the Rose Bowl from yard line seats. The couple returns via rail, noting maps by Elvin Armbruster and Harry Friis and commentary on Los Angeles traffic. An unrelated 1948 public notice announces a drainage district meeting in Saline.
