"Several times on the way down

The only towns we sighted on the
way down were Castle Rock, Mon

Rapid Trip Made
"At Fountain the tracks were
under water and a passenger train
seemed to be partly turned over.
In f-pite of the poor flying condi

and landed in Pueblo at 1 : 1 r,

after we took off from the

Kimsey said the roads between

were passable and that traffic
could be seen moving along with
