Aug. 4 to 10 – 1924
     Impressions of a trip toVermontwith J.J. L and S. (in the latter’s Ford machine)
     Make our “get away from Lankes” (in Gardenville) atnoon, Monday.  Our trip was so hasty, there are only moments and places that stand out clearly, the most being general impressions.  Without the aid of a map, I could not being to remember the trip in any consecutive order. – There are moments that are stamped clearly.  The general impression was one of riding up and down hill, gay and carefree singing or whistling “ancient” and modern songs, some of them quite idiotic.
     Some of the clearest impressions:
     The first evening meal – by the roadside under an old locust tree, rain gloom overshadowing the sky in which having the new moon-silver; in such a setting the burnt hot dogs with rye bread tasted great.
     We stayed the night at “Alpine Inn” at Hornell.
     The first painting – an old rickety house near Bath built by a Civil War veteran.
