From California state line to Redding was rough macadam the trip from 3ukersfield through the ridge was hot and some trip engine got hot so often altho it is all paved. No tire trouble on the way, 8 tires still have Cottonwood air in them, a slow leak and puncture on two. | The fabric tire I left on the car is all gone. This rubbed down going on the rough macadam through the mountains in north- ern California. We arrived here Saturday evening and Sunday took in 3 beaches on the coast. Long Beach, Seal Beach and Redonda Beach where we spent the day and took our lunch. Have been through the orange groves and oil fields here every day since. The weather here is} ideal, coo! nights, can sleep under blanket with comfort. There are so many interesting trips to make and with the car it is an easy matter as all side roads are paved. Found our way through Los Angeles in good shape. It is not as hard as T thought it might look to get through the large cities and Harriett drove the car most of the way, she does not seem to be able to get enough of it. I understand) Jeanette is to stay here and go to school so we will be one less when we get back. With best wishes to you all, C. H.
