Odom Caravan | 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. CREASY WELL DRILLING Box 38 Brooklet, Ga. Goulds Pump Co.

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 ( '.under the Detroit River by the j I 1 IHA o JPBr* Ift 0 y 1 ISES / it A *• Billy Downs seems to be well satisfied as he sits back in Con gressman Hagan’s chair. 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. 4-H^ Georgia’s oldest statewide 4-H Club camp will open for its 29th I session next week.
