This gives us a total of 33 days out
but only % running days, SO we made
an average run of over 1876 miles per
day, arriving at San Diego at 7:45 at
night on the 33rd day out.
We bought gasoline at AZ different
places on the tour and paid as high
as 81 cents a gallon in Osceola, Ne
vada, a gold mining town in the
mountains, and as low as IA cents q
gallon at Hammond, Ind. The aver
age cost was % cents per gallon. Gas
cost US for the entire trip $3.50
which is about two cents per mile foI
the distance covered. Oil and grease
must be added to this. We made an
average of IA miles plus to one gallon
of gas.
Living expenses could be cut dOwr
a great deal if a party cared to live
i'm their tent instead of hotels anC
this would create no hardship if the
trip was made at the time of yeal
our party made it. The time for &
transcontinental tour is between June
18th and August 18th. That is to say
the start should be made between
those dates. Earlier or later woulC
bring the tourists into bad weather or
some portions Of the trip. Under nc
circumstances should the travellers
tackle the worst part of the trir
either early in the season or too late
