of the Mardi Gras and a day of sight
seeing in that area after which thew
too the scenic coastal trip to Saraso-
ia. Florida, where they headquartered
while they toured the state. They took
many lovely trips throughout the state
especially enjoying the ones to Miami
and Daytona Beach. The climate they
tell us was ideal with sunshine every
day all day, and temperature ranging
between 70 and 80 all the time. The
very unusual thing about their time in
Florida was that they never. in their
three weeks there, saw another Mon
tana car. Returning ove a more north
erly route they visited Mr.. Kincaid's
people in Rock Island, H., and with
relatives of Mrs. Kincaid's at Detroit
Lakes, MINI. They had to do some
detOurlng IN Ohio because of the
floods and high water but aside from
that travelled over fine roads on their
entire trip.
