Packing their Studebaker Six with store of provisions, plenty of blankets, two of the new Studebaker suspension auto beds. a tarpaulin for | roof at night and a couple of good pieces, they donned their outing togs Lnd headed in the direction of San Ber- lardino, Fl Cajon Pass Victorville. the Nojave Desert and the Big Bear coun- ny.
 Furnace Canyon is on the road to Big 5ear-and it is all that the name inn plies. It is reached via San Bernar- limo, Victorville and the Moiave desert. About an hour out of Victorville the Studebaker party reached the Box S ancho, regular oasis with green rees and running water in the midst )f the desert. From here an abrupt urn was made and the Studebaker olowed it's way across the desert for eight miles, bringing up at the Garri- son ranch, located at the mouth of Furnace Canyon.

 An hour later the reason was appar- snt It was a long cruel grind to the loot of Elephant Butte, all in the low gear with rear wheel constantly spin- 1fng and tearing through jagged rocks and loose gravelly sand. Here the grade changes to a rise of four feet zen inches every fourteen feet.

And it is here that hirty- eight out of forty one cars have been forced to turn back in the past year trying to reach Gold Point mine it the summit.
