Getting home was the hard part by Glen Wallace Ula Perkins and I were married in 1924. In February pr March of 1925 we decided we were moving from our home in Lebanon, Colorado to California, but we wanted to see Ulas folks in Monticello before we left. The weather had warmed up and we were able to go down through McElmo Canyon and HUCTI0K Cortez, Colorado 2 miles northwest 4 tun over Yellow Jacket and then to Blanding. When we went across Yellow Jacket, there was, of course, a lot of quicksand in it. We had a 1924 Motel T Ford with a Rucksel in it.

I wrapped it around the old hose, wrapped baling wire around that, and we went on our way. On down the road, we found a well. I had a rope and we were able to get a bucketful of water, which we carried with us. We hadnt gone far when we stalled in the snow. So the three of us walked to a farm house. In those day, people took you in and fed you and gave you a bed to sleep in which this family did for us. We did this two nights in a row, going as far as we could go, and on the third day we were still about two miles from Dove Creek. We couldnt go any further for the snow was too deep and had begun to crust. I drained the radiator on the Model T and we took off walking again. We would go a little way walking on top of the snow, but once in a while it would break through. We would look back at my kid sister, stuck in the snow. She was only five feet tall and had short legs. We would have to go back and help her. We finally made it to Dove Creek. They had a little hotel there and they had one bed left. bed with It was a So a straw mattress. the three of us slept in this little bed. Ray Redd was there from Monticello. He was a salesman for McDonald Candy Company and he was there with a few other salesmen. On the fifth day, a snow plow came from Colorado way.

As fast as I would shovel the snow out of the road, it would fill up again. We got into a snow bank and couldnt go any farther. We got out and covered up the Ford. My sister Peg and Ula wrapped a dishtowel around my ears. We all had on boots and heavy clothing, so we started walking. We came to a country store in a little community called Glen-wooThey had a big potbellied stove in there that was red hot. Boy, did we enjoy the warmth from that. I asked the storekeeper if there was anyone around who could pull me out of the snow bank He replied the mailman would be through pretty quick and he might be able to do so. We waited and warmed ourselves and soon the mailman showed up. He had a team of wild mules pulling his sleigh. I asked him if he thought he could go out and pull my car out of the snow bank and he was most eager to help. He said, sure he could. We went back to the car and I hooked a tow cable on to the car. I didnt have a muffler on the car, for in those days the kids liked to listen to the noise of the motor. I got into the car and started it and revved it up.
