Around About
By Justine Weatherford
Because I was traveling when BMCC classes began this
fell, I needed to find a new learning experience and have
now, for the first time in my life, tried bowling. Although I
am not very athletic, and will probably never advance far, I
am enjoying the fun and exercise that bowling in the recently
improved Heppner Bowl affords. Judy Rickert was able to
help me get started. Now although I still need lots of help,
particularly with scorekeeping, and don't care to be watched,
I am losing my beginner's embarrassment over having so
many balls run into the gutters. I intend to keep trying while
senior citizens have the opportunity to bowl during
Wednesday and Thursday afternoons at reduced prices.
My daughter Ann, her husband Ray Chenhall, their son,
Thomas, and smaller daughter Pearl, enjoyed last Friday
and Saturday nights in Heppner where Ann was especially
pleased to renew her friendship with Ida Coleman whom she
knew at the Campfire Girls' Camp Kilowan many years ago
when Ida came into the Coast Range to cook at the camp
, during her summer breaks from cooking at the lone Schools.
For quite a few years Ann and Bill Myers were classmates in
Corvallis, and now that Bill and his wife Marge live right
next door to me, these former classmates and their mates got
together for a little visiting on Saturday. A top event of the
Chenhall 's visit was the invitation that came for the five of us
to attend the Degree of Honor Family Thanksgiving Dinner
in their attractive Hall on Saturday evening.
Several folks tell me they are reading my travelog about
the trip that Helen Curin and I took during Sept. and Oct.. and
which I will conclude now. After we left Washington," D.C.
our next big stop was at the huge Gettysburg National
Military Park just north of the Maryland-Pennsylvania
border. An excellent guide led us around the
statue-decorated acres where one of the Civil War's most
decisive conflicts was fought just eight miles north of the
Mason-Dixon Line.
This battle pitted 84,000 Union troops under General
George Meade against 75,000 Confederate troops led by
General Robert E. Lee. After three days of savage fighting
the broken Confederate army retreated. At the dedication of
the memorial cemetery there on Nov. 19, 1863, President
Lincoln delivered his. brief, immortal address.
Next we moved north-by-east to Lancaster (pop. 60,000)
dne of the nation's most prosperous agricultural centers
which was a gun-making center during the Revolutionary
War, the home of the famous Kentucky Rifle. From there we
drove through the area inhabited by "Home Amish whore ject
church buildings as too worldly and regard their homes as
the proper place to worship. We had a skillful guide who
explained Amish customs as we viewed family farms and
watched Amish folks move about in their little black buggies.
These people still manage without electricity, still farm with
horses. The distinctive clothing worn by adult Amish has
remained unchanged in style for hundreds of years. Many of
them speak a type of German, pidgin-English, the quaint
Pennsylvania Dutch. The three small market towns we
drove through were Smoketown, Bird-In-Hand and
Intercourse, just north of which we entered the area of
"Church Amish" who have built simple church buildings for
their area centers. Our busload of travelers really enjoyed
the meal we ate together in an Amish farmhouse kitchen,
we traveled many westward miles on the Pennsylvania and
Ohio turnpikes, going through the Allegheny Mountains to
Ohio and into Toledo, a great industrial city on the shore of
Lake Erie. Next we crossed Indiana and overnighted in
Chicago. We had a great afternoon tour around the third
largest city of the U.S., seeing its downtown, its various
districts, its parks and the great Field Museum. We enjoyed
staying in the large, historic Palmer House on State Street,
part of which is now a "no cars"mall. We left Chicago on
Highway 90, the northwest tollway, to cross Wisconsin to
LaCrosse, the Black and the Mississippi form a natural port.
From there we proceeded almost straight across Minnesota
near its southern border to Sioux Falls, South Dakota. As
Helen and I took time to walk around that city we found its
older center quite deserted and soon learned that all the
action is now at a large, new shopping mall.
We found much of interest in South Dakota as we crossed
from east to west. Neither of us had seen Mitchell's
tremendous Corn Palace or the renowned Wall Drug Store.
We stayed at Rapid City where we noted that regular
gasoline sold for $1.21 and unleaded for $1.24 and from where
we traveled to Mt. Rushmore in the Black Hills. I was
thrilled by the national monument honoring Washington,
Jefferson, Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt and with the
beautiful setting and lovely arrangements surrounding the
sculptured mountain. Idaho-born sculptor Gutzan G.
Borglum began this massive monument in 1917 and worked
on it for 14 years, but he died seven months before its
completion and the work was finished by his son Lincoln
Borglum. In nearby S.D. we drove through the badlands and
saw historic Deadwood. the final resting place of Calamity
Jane and Wild Bill Hickok.
We cut across a little corner of Wyoming as we entered
Montana where we were happy to visit the Custer Battlefield
National Monument and the gigantic.openpit, Anaconda
Copper Mine. From Billings our route was through
Livingston, Bozeman and Butte to Missoula. We enjoyed the
open spaces and the animals we saw in the Big Sky country.
Everyone was interested in the Montana Copper Shops and
several did some Christmas shopping. Next, we cut across
Idaho's northern mining area, sympathizing with the
population that is depressed over the sad state of mining. We
reached Spokane by lunchtime and whizzed through
Ritzville, Moses Lake and into Yakima by late afternoon.
Although the tour officially ended at Portland at noon
Saturday, the final, good-bye banquet for the 31 travelers (we
had left two favorite ranch ladies in Montana) was held in
Yakima on Friday. On Saturday, Helen and I and Erline and
Tom Ellis of Pilot Rock left the group at Biggs Junction
where George Currin and Paul Ellis met us.
Before I stop writing about this 36-day bus trip, I want to
list some of the advantages it offered. It was completely
pre-arranged for us, our baggage was handled well, we had
stops at least every two hours and many extra stops and
tours and points of interest. There were no struggles at
depots or airports, no worry about driving or about traffic or
about road directions and no searching for stopping places
for gasoline or parking or eating. We were each given an
excelent tour almanac book of 130 pages full of facts in which
we may collect our pictures and where we made personal
notations.
I know that if I had traveled alone I could never have found
so many great places to visit and good places to stay. The
chance to read or rest on the bus and to visit along with a
congenial group of our own age and social class was
delightful.
We heard in New York that helicopter travel is the coming
thing : however, before I take a helicopter tour, Ihope to have
at least one more bus holiday.
