Sunday, June 30, 1929 - Jacksonville Beach, Fla.


I guess Pop was determined to start on time this morning because we started just at seven thirty. We said goodbye to the Berries. Capt. Painter took us to the short cut and said goodbye to us there. Except for the short cut and a detour we had pavement all the way to Jacksonville. We tho’t that we only had 326 miles to go but after we got here we found we had gone 360 miles, five miles less than our record. We stopped at a Bar-B-Q stand for our lunch where we got a perfectly huge water melon for a dime. We got to Jacksonville at about seven o’clock but the Lutes had gone out to the beach which is 18 miles from the city. By the time we found out about it and found it it was almost ten to nine. They have a wonderful place right on the beach. It is eleven now but with the singing I’ll drop asleep in a second if not before.
