When you arrive In Vancouver, heap
straight out the street on whJcij you

you coma to Fifth, then turn south on
Fifth street and tha "will lead you di
rectly pass the United Statea barracks,
where hundreds and hundreda of mules
and horses will be seen in tha pana ad
jacent to tha stables on either side of
the road.
Keep tha road that leads off
of Fifth street and you will soon find
.yourself rolling along above the Colum
bia river with Mount Hood Just out of
your reach in front. You think that
every hill you pass over will surely
bring you to the base of the famous
mountain. To your right and left will
be seen orchards In full bloom that will
make your heart glad that you have
taken the machine and gona to the coun
try for the day. Tou pass through sev

ther alon you come to Fishers Landing.
Juat when you pass through Fishers
landing, you will come to a road lead-
ing east and west and yon may think
Is the main road. Keep straight
ahead, however, and you will
soon reach Camas. The roads between
' Vancouver and Camas are not as good
as those to be found on the outskirts
of Portland, but for country roads they
are not bad. For a few hundred yards
at several places between Fishers Land
ing f.nd Camas the turns In the road
. are rather sharp and the road Is a little
narrow an! should not be made at mora
than 18 to 20 milea per hour. Aside
from these few placea the road will
be found in fair condition tor this
vceason of the' year.
Double Back.
The Journal trip finding Flanders jns
tended making the trip from Washougal
over to Procbstel. but when we arrived
at Washougal, were Informed that out
best route was from Camas, so we
doubled back, and from the point we
turned into Camas took the sharp turn
to our left where our speedometer
bowed 23 miles. That 23 sure was the

those who have not the venturesome na

Washougal and spending an hour or so
roaming through the barracks at Van

We aaw way off down below ua the

It were going to be a had day but long
before we reached thla beautiful apot
the day had turned out perfect In every
detail, and tha view below ua had every
feature of a midsummer day. When
we hove in sight of that bunch of Camaa
kids, you should have eeen them take to
the woods; that was the last we saw of
them. At 21.5 turn to your right aa
shown on map above and you soon roach
the Camaa lake and cross this on a
bridge and under an irrigation flume,
then for a hort 'distance you realise
you are really on country road. You
are busy, if driving, dodging sand rocks
a few hundred feet and then you get J
a good stretch or road, and thla win

When you have gone 27.8 mllea, Juat
