In describing the flight from Denver to Pueblo, Kimsey said: "Several times on the way down we got lost in the clouds, flew ahead in the chance there would lie a hole and we had good luck. The only towns we sighted on the way down were Castle Rock, Mon ument and Fountain. Rapid Trip Made "At Fountain the tracks were under water and a passenger train seemed to be partly turned over.
