Show IMaytime in Utah Is Fine Welcome to Tourists in Hudson Sedan I I Playtime In Utah, with greon val- ' leys and blooming orchards, certain ly looked good to W. C. Kempt and his wife who arrived last Sunday in Ogden after a trip from Minneapolis, driving all the way, through the mud k.ind streams of spring weather in a Hudson Sedan. The long trip took them just seven days which is excellent time considering consid-ering the road conditions and the many experiences encountered on the trip. In commenting on his long tlrlve Mr. Kemp said, "This is certainly cer-tainly a muddy season in "Wyoming. Even the so-called desert region on the long climb to the mountains Is a regular mire. The roads are washed in many places and driving Is mighty hard on any car that tries to cross them. All along the road we passed stalled cars, many with broken springs and axles. others with stripped gears and the like. We helped the ones we could and sent aid to the others. "This side of Evanston thestrcams aro all swollen with spring floods and many bridges arc washed out. i Near Coalville we had one of our , , many exciting experiences. The I ' bridge over the rlvor here had been ! washed away and wc had our choice I of camping in the car indefinitely, ; until the waters should go down, or J j plowing through the stream with the 1( car. We had pretty good faith in our Hudson after what wo had already . been ' through so we decided to take : a chance, I "After olosing the shutters of the j radiator and all the windows of the car wo plunged into the torrent. The , car plowod and wallowed, often with I water splashing clear over the hood, but finally bucked its way through and pulled up on the other bank. ' Mrs. Kemp still retained her sejise of humor, as the first remark she made was, ""I see now why you -call our Hudson a pretty good boat. "The valley of the Great Salt Lake, with green fields, blooming or-; chards and good roads looks awfully ' (jl good to us after the muddy trip we have had. |
