They had difficulties and were held up on account of storms throughout the entire middle western west-ern section. About eight miles this side of Fort Bridger, Stewart had tire trouble trou-ble and stopped to repair it. Nielsen, Niel-sen, having passed him several miles, stopped for a little sleep when the storm struck. State highway workers work-ers pulled the Nielsen cars to a service ser-vice station where help was obtained but didn't know the other boy was following. As the storm increased in intensity, intens-ity, Stewart and a young man who was riding with him had to abandon the cars and walked the eight miles back to Fort Bridger in the blizzard. bliz-zard. Snow, wet towels and mas-sageing mas-sageing were required to restore normal nor-mal circulation to the half frozen boys. Snow was drifted and packed into ice in the cars and was practically prac-tically covering them when the storm ceased and the highway was opened to traffic. The state patrol towed the cars to Fort Bridger and aided the boys in conditioning them for travel before they left that point. Both boys say they had experiences exper-iences they will always remember and feel that Utah is still the best place in which to live. |
