made mistake number two by trying to
follow these directions instead of back
tracking to King City; for in less than
five miles we had lost all trace of our
direction and found ourselves in an al
most uninhabited region, where the
roads were COW trails quilted by the
winter rains and hardly more than
passable for a man on horseback.
However, we found one lone hermit,
who, after partially recovering from his
surprise at sight of an automobile, in
formed us that there was a road lead
ing to a station called Metz on the S.
P. r. r., about nine miles, which he
had travelled over last fall, but he was
very much in doubt as to my being able
to make it with a machine
We proceeded, however, and made the
grades all right; but l sincerely hope
never to rNet with any more such
strenuous times. We had at least a
mile of 20 per cent grade, barely wide
enough for the wheels, quilted out, and
curves so short it would keep man
busy to make them with a wheelbar-
row, and with it all a gale of wind
blowing at forty miles an hour.
But finally, after crossing the sand
bed of the creek twice, we were out of
our troubles at Metz, then nine miles
of fair road to Soledad and camp
under the trees on the bank of the Sa-
linas river"
