By SPARK PLUG Days of sunshine, days of strong|®nd while we might have said noth: west winds, days of maintenance work by the State Highway Depart ment have left every Wyoming high: way in its prime and have automa tically posted an ir~itatton to every prospective tourist in the state t load up and travel wh‘le weath fair and roads are joys? Reports fr every branch of the State Highy department contain the word “ex lent,” and any portion of the State accessible to the autolst need -hold no°terrors for the driver, in the mat ter of roads, for when Wyoming roads are good they are very, very od, and like the little girl with the when they are bad they are horrid. Let's toss up a couple of chips and see which way the wind blows and strike off in that direction. We'll divide this little animated road re- port into four parts and label each with its respective cardinal point. If your planning on “hitting the grit” in Wyoming here’s a chance to “wise up” on just what kind of a dose Dame Nature and the Highway De partment have cooked up for you. Ye Northbound wanderers: Those who would fare forth Northward through the great oil fields will find the Salt Créek’ road between Casper and Salt Crek to be dry as a bone, unless raintshould fall, and will find se is Hardness 1, and that vement has nothing on it for real wearing ability Salt Creek to Kaycee. proves, due largely to the fact that it receives less travel. There is 2 de tour near Kayeee which should: not bother any driver with a strong back and four good cylinders. From Kaycee to Buffalo, the old bus can feel sure of breezing right along for the road is reported to be in excellent shape and free from the roughness and bone jarring playful rihss of its sister ship between Cas- per and Salt Creek. No trouble should be encountered between But. falo and Sheridan as the road is well maintained.¢ From Sheridan, Mr. Northbound Traveler, we'll let you find your way-alone for if we at- tempted to describe the road condi- tions in Montana we'd probably tell a pack of Hes, and we certainly must avoid a breach of that sort. The highway from Douglas to Gil- lette is easily passable and while per: haps we shouldn't have spoken of it as a full fledged highway, still it serves as) satisfactory “ motoring ground during the summer, and what more could any motor ask. Mr. Westbound Traveler: Yes, the Yellowstone Highway to Shoshoni might be used as a race track were Casper blessed with a fast car or two.

Ye Southbound ramblers: It’s a delight to drive to Cheyenne and Denver, and there is really nothing to report upon the East Yellowstone highway except that it is in its prime and no “drivin fool" in Casper can mistake the meaning of that phrase. Ask a few of the boys who attended Frontier Days. Five hour trips from Casper to Cheyenne speak Iduder | than words for the execellent condi-| tion of Wyoming's chief artery of} travel to the South. ; | The Rawlins road? Oh, Well.
