An Interesting Letter From the West
A correspondent from Tocatello Idaho writes through The Telegraph about a San Diego to Yosemite coastal trip in March and April 1920. The account covers visits with Herman Armuth in Dalton and Birdwells in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, Catalina Islands, and a marooning week at Mariposa due to snow. Highlights include Mt Helix, Torrey Pines, the St Catherine Hotel at Avalon, glass bottom boat viewed submarine gardens, and Grand Sequoia trees.
