Fri Night
Dear Mother,
We left Rocky Mt. National Park after lunch today & got this far. Karl wants to get home tomorrow night, but it will be a long, long drive. We've had a wonderful time & have had no mishaps. Two nights ago we decided to camp out in the mountains & just about froze. There was ice in our wash basin in the morning. But it's hot here in Nebraska. Love, Margaret.
