Wednesday, May 15, 1929


We got up at six his morning, dashed down to the dining room and started by seven thirty. All morning almost we continued thru red woods. Beautiful scenery as I ever hope to see. We stopped early for lunch. Soon after lunch we hit the coast. After lunch we drove over about nine miles of very twisty windy road that was beautiful. Some of the time we could just get between two trees. Then we hit pavement and we traveled. Soon we came out and drove along with the waves braking on the beach at the bottom of a cliff one one side of us and huge trees on the other. About three thirty we got to Grants Pass. They told us it was a least four hours and a half to Eugene. The scenery changed as soon as we crossed the line almost. It’s beautiful. We drove up to the hotel just at eight. Mr. Tilbury was waiting for us. He’s been here about a week and a half waiting for us to arrive. He came down from Seattle. After going out to get something to eat we came back and talked until eleven.
Jane’s Notes: I assume from Mom’s description that this is her first trip to Oregon.
