ent. Ii viii be on an easier grade.
One of the surprising things of the
trip was the fact that the judge had
no trouble with his carbureter on the
way UP. He says he did not touch it
from the time he left FL Paso until he
returned and that the car pulled ap-
parently as easy on the grades at high
altitude as il pulled on the same grades
in and around FL Paso. He drove the
trip in a "32' Velie with a StrOmberg
carbureter.
The judge says there IS not a bad
piece of road between FL PasO and
ClOudcrOft. From FL PasO for 20 miles
north he calls the road a boulevard.
Beginning 81 miles this side of Alamo
gOrdO, there is some sand on one road
and another road is very rough. The
judge covered both of them and says
the sandy one is preferable Where
the roads fork, he says there are two
signs, both Indicating that the road
leads to AlamOgOTdO. The sandy road
is the one on the right going up and
should be taken, judge PeticOlas says,
as the sand is not very deep and is
easily pulled. He came back over this
road, while going up he went over the
left road and found it very rough in
same places.
Judge Peticolas says the road be-
tween ClOudcrOft and the indian reser-
walton is but little sleeper than the
road up TO ClOudcroft from AlamOgOrdo
and that ii has been largely improved
in the last year or so.

been no rain in the mountains ard the
roads have not been used enough this
summer to cut them up.
From ClOudcrOft, judge Peticolas

ClOudcrOft, he made the trip down from
the mountain top to the plains in two
