.(day coach, like at honey bound for

Columbia Highway. A paved road
winding through the Cascade mount
ain. We saw some of the most beau
tiful scenery. Falls, chasms, high
cliffs, rapid flowing streams, etc. We
started out at seven in the morning
and got to our camping place about
nine. This place was National Park.
a beautiful place, stoves for camping
water, tables here and there. We
found all our necessities at one place
SO we settled there. Nelson put Oh
his long rubber boots and went out
fishing. We made dinner or Mrs.
Nelson did. Ruth and l hiked around
camp. We walked along narrow
path; built or, worn out along the
mountain side which was very steep
in places, skirting on the river, which
flowed very rapidly in places over
stones and rocks. :. We explored lost
mine, cave in the side of cliff.
Here and there across the river were
foot bridges, made by cutting down a
huge tree and letting it fall across
thenriver and then mailing ON ratings.
:. We started out home again at about
four: Stopped here and there to see
the beautiful scenery. We went thru

came on. On account of the railroad
strike people who were to travel on
the day coaches came on our train.
We had twenty coaches on at one
time and two engines. OF course ira
yelling and climbing in the mountains
is difficult SO we stopped and changed
engines at different places. All Tues
day afternoon we could see the Shasta
mountain. AS We were travelling up
ward we were circling around it. We
were so high up at last l felt terribly
dizzy Mountain sick I guess. At
Shata Springs we received envelopes
from the porter and we got off to

the train left for Turlock. Going
from Sacramento to TurlOck . was a
