we were, and eat dinner before
leaving. Then when lunch time
} came we were not hungry so we
ate ice cream and bought apples
to eat on the way. From Bristol
: on we came by bus. A new ex-
: perience for me. Bus travelling is
: about as common here as going
by train there. Huge, long buses

Through the Mountains
We had a very nice ride to
Elizabeth, Tennessee. There we
changed and then came the ridel
We were right up in the noun
; tains, much more so than at Rad
ford. The scenery was lovely.
We enjoyed it It first but we had
foolishly gotten into the back end
of the bus, where we got all the
swing-and how that driver did
whirl around those curves. Three
of the girls got seasick, another
had a headache and | wasn't feel
ing any too we'll. We thought one
girl was going to faint. We
watched the hands of our watches
creep around to 400, 4:30, 500
o'clock and thought we'd never
get to Asheville, N. c. We went
to get there at $50 and about that
time the driver stopped at a sta
tion so we began collecting our
selves and our parcels and a man
told us it was still 23 miles to
Asheville. We sank Imply back
into our seats.
We planned to eat in Asheville
but were late getting there and
just had time to catch the 700
o'clock bus to Black Mountain,
the last stop of our journeys
miles. Black Mountain is a lone
ly little town nestled down in a
big cup among towering noun
tains. Tired, dusty, starving we
were quite miserable when we got
off the bus and were pretty glad

we were going to Blue Ridge and
took us to a nice big Hudson car.
First thing we asked was: do
we get anything to eat there?" e
He said we would and we started t
off to where we could see the big a
white buildings cleaning among e
the trees, 3 miles up the mountain o
side among the trees. The road t
was lovely, winding among the S
trees. That fellow charged us t.
$3.50 for the 8 mile drive. c
A Hungry Crowd "
We found out we had come a {
day too early and the halls were >
not ready. Everything was in dis
order. We had to make our own
beds. There was no hot water
and it vas icy cold in our rooms.
When we found there was no
to get dinner that night, u
t was too much. The situation
vas really funny though. A sign u
aid breakfast at 1880, so we went n'
o bed to wait. A bugle blowing as

ooked out on the loveliest sight W.
