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.
