Page 94 a trip to the west cost - Oregon - to visit my Uncle C.B. Green. I had about thirty hogs that would weigh from 200 to 250#. They had been eating 8 cent barley and were in good shape. I sold the hogs for three cents a pound and had about $200 to play with. Willis had bought a 1930 Plymouth. It was a good car. Had good tires and looked sharp. I was to take it on my trip west. Hallie Glessner was going with me. Our trip went good until we got almost across Montana then a piston broke and went through the block and we were afoot. We got the Plymouth towed into a little town (can't think of the name now), left it at a garage and went on to Oregon. We rode in a a truck to Walla Walla, caught a ride on to Spokane and rode the cushions on to Portland. Hallie wanted to ride the box cars but I wouldn't do it. More people traveled by box |
