Charles E. Burchfield, Journals, Vol. 48, July 21-24, 1947

A trip that proved to be interesting and delightful far beyond even our “fondest expectations” — Four days of complete freedom from family and world worries or care, of engagement of nature and landscape of harmonious companionship and good fun. Due to B’s foresight and planning (it was her idea to include a sterno stove in the outlet) we were independent of restaurants. We stopped & cooked our meals whenever we got hungry and found a nice spot. Our meat was limited to ham or bacon or wieners, but with fresh fruits & vegetables, and coffee etc we had enjoyable meals, and could enjoy the outdoors at the same time. Some people would have called it a “second honeymoon” — but I do not know how a “first” honey—moon could have been more happy.
