Carter says that he hhas'fotmd no tourist camp to com- pare th ‘convenience with that of Casper, ~™. Following is his letter: “My femily and I are quietly resting in a shady, comfortable tourist camp at Le Grande, Ore. We have motored in our Maxwell 1,090 miles since Iast Monday and arrived last night, having come over some of the best roads eny- where to be found in America. We started yesterday morning at 11 a. m, from Boise, Idaho, and drove 208 miles arriving here at 8:45 p.m. ‘The road was as smooth as a psrior floor and wide enough for cars to pass going 30 miles an hour. The speed Itmit on the ‘Old Oregon Trail’ is 30 miles an hour in the country and 20 miles an hour in cities. This 4s the Oregon law. But fn one own in Idaho we encountered a different sign. As we were driy- ing elong we noticed this sign, ‘Speed limit 10 miles per hour, Fords do your damndest.' We failed torlearn the name of the town for before we were aware of it the town was back of us. It had a fillmg ‘station and four or five houses» I-doubt if it had a name. ‘We found good roads from Cas: per to Lander, and even over the mountains by way of Dubois to Moran the roads were good except for a few miles near the top of thr mountains west of Dubois where a Cloudburst had changed the road inte a mud hole. State highwey Jsorkers were stationed there with teams to haul cars through the mud, but ‘Max’ asked for no help th the mud reached to the dif- jal. Largers cars were stuck ‘Max’ plowed through alone. ‘We finally reached Moran safely and on the second day camped on ‘the highest point on the Teton Pass, over 9,000 feet above sea level. We needed all our bedding. ‘Two congenial parties from Gan Francisco camped there also, not so much by choice es compulsion. ‘That afternoon one party drove to the summit, parked their car and looked about for scenes to kodak.

Carter in Letter Home the valley 25 miles from Boise, on the Boise river. The first 20 miles are over 8 good road, but the last five miles ere over a narrow, wind- ing road, none too safe. We reached the dam safely and took a few anapshots and started for home. ‘When about two miles from the dam we discovered four unfortunate victims of an auto accident. A Fancher and his wife and two rela- tives who were visiting them had Planned a little outing. While about to cross a short, narrow bridge the right front wheel struck soft gravel and in a frection of a second the car had plunged over a bank 15 feet high and the car turned turtle, falling upon the passengers. All had crawled from under the car when we arrived, end not one seemed fatally hurt, though three were badly injured. We assisted two into one car, arid another tour- ist took the other two and we took the suffering, bleeding people to their home 20 miles away and sent for a doctor. So grateful were they to us that they wanted us to re- main all night, but we drove back to Boise and camped. “The experience was nerve wrack- ing, but taught a lesson that moun- tain driving is dangerous.

But however much Oregon may excel in road building, give me Wyoming climate.
