Show pj I A Away way We Go By FLORENCE BITTNER Some families golf some go boating some camp out We go on rides Sure as we all gather in the living room in one of the rare afternoons when we are all present and not otherwise occupied Warren Warren Warren War War- ren is certain to say Lets Letsgo go for a ride SIMPLE We just walk out the door get in the car and drive off into the sunset Well not quite First there is a discussion as to who has which obligations and at what time Then after lengthy figuring of time schedules we decide there is time NEXT WE have to decide which car to take I 1 usually vote for Mr Bs B.'s car hoping hoping hoping hop hop- ing that we can ride on the company's gas He usually su sug suggests ests we try Carols Carol's car Just uJust to see how it is run run- ning She is apt to be low on gas however So we get in my car then Mr B. B remembers the garden hose is running m in back so he dispatches Jon to turn the water off Then Jon decides he has to bring the dog Warren is suddenly taken hungry so I unlock the door and get a box of pretzels and a package of cookies WHERE TO go is the next order of business We have been on every back country lane in the valley and have explored all the canyons ex- ex by a family sedan Adventurous days we go to the other side of the mountains mountains mountains moun moun- to see what we can see We never tire of looking looking looking look look- ing at our mountains-all mountains of them from all directions When our aunt Ida and uncle Bill were here from New NewYork NewYork NewYork York we took them for Cor a couple of rides but our distances distances distances dis dis- are a little more than they are accustomed to Where can you go for fora a Saturday afternoon ride in Salt Lake City without at least forty miles WE TOOK them to Park City to Heber Provo and home and they felt Celt we should have stayed overnight We Wo like to drive up least East ast Canyon and come back byway by byway byway way of Weber Canyon We enjoy the drive up Ogden Canyon and have gone over Monte Cristo to Bear Lake and home by way of Logan The ride around the is another we enjoy down Redwood Road the west side of Utah Lake around the mountain and home by way of Tooele WE SUGGESTED to our relatives from the East they might enjoy a ride to Wendover Wendover Wendover Wen- Wen dover but when we told old them how far it is they just dust threw up their hands and closed their minds Since the scenery between here and Wend Wendover over could be improved upon in spots we didn't press the invitation When we lived in Vermont we went for afternoon rides and there we were endlessly endlessly end end- endlessly lessly entranced by country lanes which led to more remote remote remote re re- re- re mote country lanes isolated farms deserted farmhouses and every mile of it lush and green We could go forten for forten forten ten mile drives there but where can you go in m Salt Lake City for a ten mile drive without bucking traffic all the way SOON AFTER Labor Day weekend we plan to take a little ride with friends to our favorite part of the state-in state the area From the time we leave until we return we will probably drive a thousand miles without leaving the state and do it in an easy three or four days with ample time for sightseeing and Sometimes I feel a slight pang because of all the air pollution we must have added in our favorite recreation burning all that gas Im I'm glad no one has decided people add pollution just by passing through the way cars do because we never tire of looking looking looking look look- ing at our landscape I THINK our cars get better mileage than the kids do So far the best we have got out of Warren and Jon is isten isten isten ten miles to a box of cookies fb |
