reason for th« name, "Rockies.’’
A valley bordered by snow covered'
mountains gave way to hills cov
ered with small cottonwood* in
clumps, and then at “Summit Inn”
we found the sign, “ Welcome to
Laram ie.” Hut there was no l<ara-
mie in sight. We began to descend
a canyon, slowly at first, and then
more abruptly.
"Croink, croink,
croink" went something about the
running gear of the car. We threw
the transmission into neutral and
held it with the brakes.
It ran
quietly. Then we tried
holding
back with the compression of the
engine. “Croink, croink” it went.
And' »till the road dropped down
that confounded canyon.
Somebody hunted out the road
map and found it was ten miles
from Summit Inn to Iai ramie.
Could we make it? I got out and
looked at the brakes, smoking like
they were a fire!
Finally a great wide valley op
ened up ahead. We had' seen the
edges along the road back a ways.
But such a flat level valley beau
tiful, green, fields, and here it
was really warm. We took off
our coats and basked in the sun
shine. Such a change after the
snow, the cold and the wind on
the hills. A* soon as we got down
to the level and there was no hold*-
ing back for the engine to do, the
car behaved famously, but when
the driver tried to use compression
to save his brakes that noise would
begin. It followed us clear home,
and some places we had a time
getting down some of those grades.
Kut well tell of that when we
get that far.
Just about noon we noticed
smoke coming up from the floor
in front of the front seat. Got out
and found' the floor mat afire.
The ‘'heel" from the driver’s pipe
had got down there and set the
floor mat afire. Hut it was soon
out. Then on a curve w e stopped
to eat lunch, somewhere near Bos -
ler.
All along the road we kept
meeting trucks loaded with coal.
Notice. He told us he had loaned
his overcoat to the fellow he had ;
picked up, the hitch-hiker. When
we passed a truck away on to the
west, a fellow was riding in the
back with an overcoat like the
one that had been loaned the hitch
hiker. Too bad for that overcoat.
jFhe fellow who had loaned his
coat was quite a character. He
was journeying west. Told us he
was going to drive to Cheyenne
that night yet. Also was quite
certain that we would make a big
mistake if we followed the route
we indicated1 .we intended to take.
