Two Boys Drive Ford To California Front From Houston
Two Houston boys J C Rogerson and PLR Smith decided weeks ago to drive a Ford to the California front arriving safely in San Diego.

They plan to continue through Nevada Colorado Utah Kansas Oklahoma on the return journey hoping the Ford will endure the rest of the trip.
