Day 18, Friday, July 24—We
broke camp at Blue Rock State
Park in southern Ohio early in
the morning and we had soon left
the rolling hills of southern Ohio
behind us and we were in the
plains along Lake Erie.
At Sandusky, Ohio we were i
lucky to get a camp site at East
Harbor along the shores of Lake,
Erie. In all there were over 600
camp sites and when all the camp
ers had arrived it was a small vill
age of 2500 people.
After setting up camp, we all
went swimming in Lake Erie. It
seemed rather strange to sw i m
along a beach that had fresh water
and no tide. The sand was a little
coarser and darker but was only
one of the differences. You had
to wade about 200 yards before
the water was deep enough to
swim.

Day 19, Saturday, July 25—The
group went to Sandusky to buy
I groceries and for the boys to get
a haircut. ($1.75).
Next we drove over to Port Clin
ton. We wanted to ride the ferry
across to Put In Bay where Perry'
had defeated the British in the
War 1812. Due to the time we
were unable to go.
I Day 20, Sunday, July 26—After
| storing all of the wear away, we
i drove along the shores of Lake
Erie until we came to highway 75
(Interstate). We proceeded north
ward to Detroit.
At Detroit we cross the Am
bassador Bridge into Ontaria, Can
ada. Here we passed through the
Canadian Immigration Officials.
We proceeded into Canada and
looked over several camping places
but they were undesirable, so we
decided that we would return to
M ichigan.
On the return trip we crossed (

tunnel and we had to check through
the American Immigration Offi
cials. They took a look at the
mountain of material that we had
stored in the station wagon and
we were allowed to pass.
Our caravan finally ended up
at Bay City State Park on the
shores of Lake Huron. Here we
put up the tents and headed for
the lake to swim. Lake Huron
was a great disappointment. The
water was very dirty and the bot
tom was covered with about three
inches of mud.
Day 21, Monday, July 27—For
the seventh time our group pack
ed the tent away and started west
ward across the lower part of
Michigan to Lake Michigan. The
state park at Ludington was fill
:ed so we returned to town and
pitched our tent in a trailer court.
(It had a graveyard on one side).
We children were soon swim
ming in Lake Michigan. The water
was clean and warm and the
beaches were very clean. We had
swum in three of the Great Lakes
in three days.
Day 22, Tuesday, July 28—Today
was a lazy day, we slept late
(eight o’clock) and had breakfast.
We visited the laundromat and
got all of the clothes washed and
dried. Again we went swimming
in Lake Michigan.
Day 23, Wednesday, July 29—
We were all out of bed by seven
and it hail turned real cold, the
radio said that the temperature
was in the upper 50’s. Mama had
gotten out the winter clothing and
we were all shivering.
We had planned to stay another
day or two here mainly to swim,
some suggested that we head
southward because it wasn’t go
ing to warm up any time soon.
By ten o’clock we were all pack
ed and on the road. We drove down
the shore of Lake Michigan and
we were surprised to see the large
number of fruit trees, they had
peaches, apples, cherries and
others. Also there were fields of
flowers and vineyards.
We crossed over into Indiana at
South Bend and soon had our camp
established at Mounds State Park.
It was an old Indian burial
grounds, but this didn’t worry us.
Day 24, Thursday, July 30—By
11 o’clock ke were in Indianapolis.
We went by the University of In
diana Medical College to visit with
Phil McQuillan, an ex-air force
flyer. He and daddy had flown
together on the same crew and
our brother Phil had been named
after him.
We went to a cafeteria to have
lunch, and was the only time on
the entire trip that we ate in a
case or cafeteria. We enjoyed
our meal very much.
Mac took us on a guided tour of
the Indianapolis Speedway where
they have the BIG RACE. It was
good to have someone along that
I new what to see and how.
We toured through the museum
and Billy and Phil enjoyed look
ing at the many old cars that had
participated in the races. It was
very interesting.
While we were looking over the
2*/z mile track from the grand
stand, Roger Ward and some of
the other drivers were running
laps to test Firestone tires. Roger
Ward was driving a rear engine
Ford (what every that was) and
he averaged a speed of almost 150
miles an hour in circling the track.
Daddy said that he wished that
Willie was here to give Roger
Ward a few pointers on how to
drive.
We left Indianapolis behind us
and we stopped at Brown County
State Park. (We had traveled
about 90 miles today).
Day 25, Friday, July 31—From
the rolling hills of Indiana we
crossed the Ohio River into Ken
tucky. We stopped at Frankfort
and made pictures of the quaint
and beautiful capitol of Kentucky.
We soon found ourselves on the
Mountain Parkway, it was a toll
| road leading eastward. We stop-
THE PEMBROKE JOURNAL
ped at the Natural Bridge State
Park and picked out a camp site
but none of theparty seem enthused
about staying, se we looked at
the archway, took some pictures
and moved on.
We finally found a camp site
at Levi Jackson State Park in
southern Kentucky. It was late
and we were all glad to find a site
in a park.
During the day, we had passed
many of the houses in the moun
tains were the owners had run
the water from the gutters of the
house into the well. We thought
that this was very unusual. (Most
of the houses were on ridges and
they had more trouble storing
water).
Day 26, Saturday, August 1—
We were up early and packed. We
looked over the park, a cemetery
where a party of settlers had been
massacreed by the Indians and a
mill that was used to grind corn.
We purchased a watermelon and
stopped at a roadside park to eat
it. There was no water to clean
the table so Phil took the water
jug and went to a nearby store to
get some, the innkeeper charged
him five cent for the gallon of
water.
We traveled through Cumber
land Gap and then stopped to climb
what is called “Tri-peaks.” It is
the place where the state of Vir
ginia, Kentucky and Tennessee all
come together.
The distance up the hill was list
ed as 3/4 mile and all of it up
hill. Daddy had a hard time mak
ing it up the hill but he brought up
the rear, we had our picture made
standing in three states at the
same time.
For the rest of the day we
traveled through the Great Smoky
Mountains, it can be described as
up one hill and down and up and
down.
At Asheville, North Carolina we
stopped at a federal park called
Bent Creek. This was one of the
incest parks that we had visited.
We had supper and went to bed
early, tomorrow was to be a big
day.
Day 27, Sunday, August 2—
After traveling 4500 miles, through
ten states, and putting up our own
motel 12 different times, we were
finally on our way home. We
arrived in Good Ole Bryan County
a little after dark and it was hard
to tell who was the happiest.

Mr. Bible adds that the rd-nation of
