Girod's Market Float illp and Down ; The Avenue By Don Moffatt All good things must come to an end, and that is what has happened to our six weeks of bumming around the country. We finally arrived at our des tination — home — Saturday night. We had spent several days at the State Park at Wal lowa lake, and believe me, that is one of the finest places to rest we found on the trip. During our travels we went just under 7,000 miles, so if I seem a little disconnected, more than usual, that may have something to do with it. We did learn, though that trav eling in a trailer is really the “Way to Go." We had a good visit with relatives in Jamestown and friends at Watford City, then as we said in our last column, we went to Medora, N.D. our old stomping grounds. The lit tle building where our news paper was located is now a gift shop. Medora, which is steeped in earlv North Dakota history is new a going tourist town. It nas been improved a lot since we lived there. We took our trailer out into the bad lands for a one-night stop, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Real peace and quiet. We visited some of the friends of old times who still lived there. From there we went to Laur el, Mont., and spent a few hours with Alta’s niece and husband then tied up in a city park, as there was no place else to park our rig. That was the night that the rains came .".33 inches in fact. To get to this park, we went through an underpass, and lo and behold, in the morning, . . . we found cut that we couldn’t get back through to the highway on account of water in the underpass. The niece’s husband came and told us this, then showed us how to get back into the freeway. The wind was blowing a gale, but we started out anyhow. Made five miles to the gallon that day, but did make it to a good sized town where we spent the night. The next day we went to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho to spend a little time before going to Spckane to visit Alta’s brother, Marvin and wife. The weather there was much better. From there we went to Cottonwood, Ida ho to visit Lloyd R?se and family. You’ll remember Lloyd worked here for a short while before going to Cottonwood. That is another story in it self. Before reaching Lewis ton Ida., you go down the side of a mountain. The highway is well constructed, but it seems that part of the way you can see into your own gas tank, because of the many switch- backs. We were dingling along just fine when there was a thump. Alta looked out of her side view mirror and informed me that I had run over a tire in the road. I informed her she was “crazy as hell” as I was watching the road real closely. She informed me then that "it is one of ours then.” As luck would have it there was a turnout at that spot, so I stopped, and sure enough, the back tandem wheel on the driver’s side had worked loose and came off. Luckily, it lit flat on the road, and believe it or no., all the nuts but one were still in the wheel cover. The threads were not even damaged A good Samaritan took me into Lewiston, helped me round up a service station man with a pickup and two jacks, and before long we were on our way again. The only damage to the trailer, was to the wheel housing and one storage compartment. I still am a firm believer that some one "upstairs” really looks af ter us. The rest of the trip home was uneventful, anrl we’ re glad to be back at work again. I am real proud f the crew for the fine job they did while we were away. Truck-Trailer Speed Limit To Be Upped Mobile Dial System Moves from Lyons The People’s Telephone Co., of Lyons has l>een granted a construction permit by the Federal Commuications Sys tem to move their Mobile Dial Telephone System from Lyons to McCully Mountain. This will give better coverage for mobiles and pagers, as it is 1,000 feet higher. The tower is 120 feet high with an Alpine style equip ment building, setting at the base of the tower. The building will have underground power and telephone service. Also to he introduced in the near future is one-way paging. This will be an added service to the mobile system.
