We started out at the early hour of six fifteen, the earliest yet. We got into Albuquerque before seven. After breakfast Pop took the car to be fixed, washed, oiled and to have the crank case drained. They said it would be ten before it would be ready so we started out to spend the time. First we went to a ten cent to dollar store to get some presents for Sleepy and some things for June as tomorrow is her birthday. From there we went to the Post Office, then we went around to the Indian House at the station. June and I each got a piece of Indian rug. On the way back to the garage we stopped to do some more little shopping. It was finally ten thirty before we left there. We had lunch at Santa Fe. That certainly is a funny town. It’s next to the oldest in the US and the streets are about as narrow as those in the Walled City in Manila. It got cloudy again this afternoon and we had showers. About four thirty we almost had a serious accident. We almost turned over because of a soft shoulder but we got stuck in the mud at the side of the road instead. We went thru two rather deep fords and Mom & June were scared to death. At Wagon Mound tonight, another little dump!
Jane’s Notes: Santa Fe is east on Route 66 and then they turn north on present day I-25 to Wagon Mound.
