We Never Sleep
Motorcyclists in everv corner of
the land are pouring over maps
and route books these days, get
ting camping equipment in readi
ness, and otherwise laying plans
for long cross-country tours.
Never before have there been so
many riders who are hearkening
to the call of the open road. Rid
ers in the middle west and many
even from eastern states are mak
ing plans to tour to Yellowstone
park this summer with their mo
torcycles. On the other hand,
many motorcyclists are planning
t) take in the sights and attrac
tions of tbe country's largest city
and other interesting points along
tbe Atlantic coast. Tbe greatest
attraction for the embryo tourists,
however, appears to be the gov
ernment national parks, in tbe
western states. It is quite natural
that this is the case, however, as
the average motorcyclists of today

tbe great outdoors and hand of
nature has a great appeal.
