Dear Pauline =
At last / got my mountain climb

we could, and then followed the trail
for nve miles: ON horseback. and then
hiked il the balance Of the distance
10 the summit I feel weIl repaid for
the strenuous effort. bRg / have had
sufficient mountain climbing for all
time while in California. We took
some dandy pictures of the country
while on this "trip. and VIII show
them To you when 1 arrive home in

We stopped iu Los Angeles about a
week taking in the different trips
which are mapped out for tourists.

interesting 70 me than the ocean trips
Last Friday we came down 20 san
Diego. and made the trip in a twelve
cylinder Packard for a distance of
ISS miles over rOadS as smooth as q
board After leaving CapiSrraw-
where we had lunch-we followed the

and out of the hills. On the way we
passed thru many pretty towns. and
