etc, and right on west through the
great state of Kansas. We soon be.
gan to see the great wheat fields and
saw corn half knee high, when it had
been so wet at home our corn was
not planted yet. We passed through
many nice towns nearly every one OF
which had nice camp grounds for
tourists, some liked extra nice. AS
we passed the center of Kansas we
began to see where the dry weather
was hurting crops. At Kinsley,
kans., we saw some of the Larkeys,
who lived about the Amsterdam
country, along the Arkansas River,
which caused SO much loss of life and
property. We drove for miles and
miles where the water was not over
ankle deep, the channel being filled
full of sand. We followed it on
through Pueblo and right on up to the

Saw the wonderful scenery of the

and drove for a couple of hundred

The desert sure was hot and we all
looked liked we had been roasted.
Joe and Mrs. Robbins all peeled off
from it. but guess was toe tough.
