 Dear Margie: My stay in Green For est was too short to see all my friends and to tell them of the delightful trip we have had; so with your permission l will tell them about it thru the col umns of The Tribune.
 Travelling in an automobile over real roads is by far the incest way to en- iov ones vacation. There were six in our party and with our camping outfit we left Augora, Neb., on July IA
 Our first stop was Cheyenne, Wyo. Of course a Capital City is always in teresting, especially one of frontier fame. After visit to the State House and the principal parks and taking general view of the town we resumed our journey. That day we had break fast in Nebraska, dinner in Wyoming and supper in Colorado. Our first camp was made near Ft. Collins, which to my mind should be called the City of Cherries. Everywhere, there were cherries, till it seemed that there Wasn t anything but cherrles-a beau tiful sight to see. We entered Estes Park after long | drive through Big Sampson Canyon. None of us will ever be able to describe | that drive or the impression the roaring f snow waters and the many colored rocks i '. iY1hss S4fsfss sSe sssa bad been aa.sa-. eled out, made upon us. Estes Park has many attractions. The town ot | Estes Park, Moraine Park, Longs Peak, St. Vrain Canyon, the Quaker Aspen trees, the National Y. M. c. A. grounds, the High Drive and the Switch backs were very interesting. We drove over the Grand Lake Road to the Rocky Mountain National Park, where the view of the outside world IS obstructed by the snow-erowned peaks of that range. The scene is striking -indeli- ble-and as we wound around the switch backs, through beds of giant boulders to the dizzy pine-clad heights, I was indeed thankful for the privilege of being there. A sense of awe mixed with delight overcame me and 1 wished for the great gift of oratory or even the power to express in simple words, the sensation this spot of nature made upon me.
 Our next stop was in Denver, which afforded all the attractions of clean prohibition city. Distinctively western and interesting with its wide-awake, hustling people.
 We made our next camp up the Ute Chief Pass in Manatau. The many points of interest near there and Colorado Springs was a treat greatly appreciated. The wonderful Cave of the Winds is the geological miracle of the Rocky Mountains. The sixteen rooms and the underground passageWays, reSplendent in colors and fantastic formations, are a source of mystery and delight.
 Pike's Peak, in all it's glory, stands IA, 104 feet above the sea level. Roy and had been up on the top two years ago and did not go up this time with the rest of the party
 Natures beauty spot was South Cheyenne Canyon and Seven Falls. We climbed the stairway to the top of Seven Fall5--on further we climbed to the grave of Helen Hunt Jackson and Inspiration Point, where she used to sit and write. It is always cool there through the canyon-no dust or dirt the entire roadway is kept sprinkled. can give only the briefest outline of our trip. Occasionally we met friends or relatives which was an added pleas ure. We spent part of one day in Col orado Springs with Dallas Harbert and family. So eager was he for news from Arkansas, that he came to Mana tau one night and visited with us at our camp in the Pass.
 In Granada, Colo, we drove up to q store with "Rhodes, ' in large letters, on the awning, and with a glad laugh and hearty handshake Blaine recog, nlzed and greeted us.
 We made 45 pictures which will be our story for years to come of our trip Our last day out we drove 260 miles arriving in Kansas to sleep in beds, fol the first time since we left Nebraska Tanned, burned and peeling we got tc the Maybell family home, with tn, sense of having viewed part of nature : wonderland.
