TOUR HEREJGUST 9TH A publicity tour made by officers and members of the Pikes Peak Ocean-to-Ocean Highway Association, which is similar to tours conducted by other highway associations in the past, left New York City July 18 and arrived in the state of Utah on August 1. The following schedule through Utah is being followed as nearly as possible: Leaving Grand Junction, Colorado, where an overnight stop was made, on Monday, August 1, the caravan arrived ar-rived at Green River at 2:40 in the afternoon, and then went on to Price to spend the night. Leaving Price at 8 o'clock Tuesday morning short stops were made at various towns along the route to Sa-lina Sa-lina where a two-hour luncheon stop was made. The caravan spent the night of August 2 at Beaver. The morning of the third the party proceeded pro-ceeded to Cedar City and thence to Zion National Park. August 4 and 5 will be spent in Grand Canyon National Na-tional Park, August 6 at Bryce Canyon Can-yon and August 7th at Panguitch. The night of August 8 will be spent in Cedar City where a rousing reception re-ception will be tendered the members of the party by the Cedar City Chamber Cham-ber of Commerce. Although no definite word has been received from the managers of the association tour, it is expected that the caravan will arrive in St. George the morning of August 9. The party will arrive in Las Vegas the night of August 9, San Bernardino Bernar-dino August 10, and Los Angeles August Au-gust 11. The return trip east will be made by way of Yosemlte park, over the LincDln highway to El;, thence to Beaver, Salt Lake, and Green River, in each of which places all night stops will be made. The official caravan car-avan party will break up at Colorado Springs, Colo., on August 25. The publicity tour, one of the largest larg-est ever undertaken by any highway association, is attracting much attention at-tention along the route of the Pikes Peak Ocean-to-Ocean highway, both east and west. The novelty Is unusual un-usual and it is hard to estimate how much the caravan will be increased from the time it left New York until it reaches the Pacific coast. Headquarters Head-quarters of the association staging the tour have been deluged with letters and telegrams from various points along the route, stating that parties would join the caravan and follow the crowd through. |
