As usual our early start consisted of getting started at eight but we had the best of roads all day so we made fairly good time. We got into Huntington at five to nine only it was five to eight because it was Pacific Time and we had to set our watches back. This fore noon we went through Backer, Oregon and I knew it was Myrabelle’s home so I didn’t want to go thru without seeing her parents. We saw the Palmer Bros. Jewelry Store and went in. We met her Uncle, Father and youngest brother who is the perfect image of her. Bill (her brother) took us over to the house and we chatted with Mrs. Palmer a while. Pop said altogether it took an hour and ten minutes but we gained an hour so it was alright. We had lunch at a lovely New Cafe at Le Grand. In the afternoon we ferried across the Columbia River. Washington has her desert we discovered this afternoon but it didn’t become unbearably hot. We stopped here tonight.
Jane's Notes: All those folks they knew over the years from Manila just keep popping up on this journey. Must have been quite an eclectic community.
