“In Georgetown, we visited the weekly newspaper established in 1874, printed on an oldstyle Potter flatbed press run by water power. We called our friends and we drove all over town together watching elk and sight seeing. We visited until bedtime catching them up on people we all know. “Fort Collins streets are very wide and on most of them there is room for three lanes of traffic in each direction. We were going south in the center of the southbound lane when we saw a car coming toward us weaving back and forth taking the whole street traveling about thirty miles an hour. We very nearly became a statistic right there but some how we zigged when the other car zagged and he passed us on the wrong side. He passed without touching us. It was our only thrill of the entire trip and we don’t care for a refill. “September 1. Today we visited an interesting museum in an old depot at Cripple Creek. Left about 1:00 p.m. for Divide to get back on US 24. About three miles from the Divide we heard a loud bang. I put on the brake and glanced at the rear-vision mirror. I couldn’t see out the rear window! I got out to investigate. The rear glass window was in a million pieces but still in place. There was nothing to do but drive on to Divide, where we got a mechanic to take out the pieces so I could see behind me. “September 2. Colorado has a maximum speed limit of sixty miles and Kansas has no speed limit. Good old Kansas was hot, windy, and dusty and no matter how we adjusted the front windows, there is a draft on the back of our necks and dust and dirt are sucked into the car through the hole in the rear where the glass is missing. Later the insurance company told us the glass probably blew out due to change in atmosphere. Bob Corbett said he was glad he kept his uncle’s journal and preserved a little piece of history. r
