side the road or in the open prairie to 
give the youngsters a chance to romp and 
stretch. Keeping any members of the 
i party cramped in the car too long is 
sure to make the journey wearisome be¬ 
yond need. This applies especially to 
the trips taking two weeks or longer. It 
may be questioned whether it is worth 
while to undertake an elaborate camping- 
trip of less than two weeks. If it is a 
matter of going to some place, for the 
sake of arriving there, perhaps it would 
be better to drive steadily, stopping at 
restaurants for meals and hotels or way- 
side lodgings for the night, doing away 
1 with the outfit entirely—except the drink- 
fiing-water can. 
j; For a week or two the tourists can 
stand the privation and the irregularities, 
such as sleeping in catnaps and quick- 
lunch rations, but a trip to the Rockies 
and back, to either Coast and return, to 
the faraway places, demands ample 
equipment, ample meals and ample time. 
O LD timers on the roads are as reg¬ 
ular as at home. Watch the trans¬ 
continental tourists come into camp. 
They stop, probably to look around for 
a parking place; they note the location 
of the water taps; they look for ruts, 
ditches, deep grass so as to avoid them. 
When they pick their place they may 
back their car into it in order to have 
the tent backed against a convenient wire 
fence to save driving stakes; they con¬ 
sider the question of fire for cooking. 
When the car is in place, one whittles 
a few shavings from a stick picked up 
beside the road; another unstraps the 
tent and another pulls the bedding out 
and the party cook raises the lid of the 
grub box. In fifteen minutes the tent 
'.and beds are up and the fire is cooking 
the evening meal. In 45 minutes supper 
is finished and there is nothing to do but 
to go down to the movies in town, or 
perhaps go down to the pool to try for a 
mess of fish, or, more likely, to bed. 
In the morning the tent is struck, the 
i beds taken down, the bedding and tent 
folded up and lashed fast. In the mean¬ 
while someone has a fire built and the 
breakfast is being cooked. It takes an 
lour, perhaps, for the breakfast, from 
ighting the fire to washing the dishes, 
ft takes an hour to break camp, pack 
he car and make ready to start. Divi¬ 
sion of the work, each doing what he 
■an, means one hour to the getaway, in¬ 
stead of two or three hours. 
Always it is worth while to note 
ither tourists in a camp, learning new 
vrinkles. Here is a man with a eol- 
apsible stove; here is one with a fold- 
ng grid; here is one with a gasolene 
■tove; here is one with a camp-fire stake 
lolding four or five dishes over the fire 
it various heights. Tents, beds, lug- 
rage’carriers, dishes, racks—no matter 
low much one may have simplified and 
•laborated his own outfit, he will see 
i omething else to make it better, more 
■omplete. One learns most by watch- 
ng the outfits traveling in one’s own 
fund of car, make and model. What 
j erves well on a huge sedan would be 
impossible on a roadster. 
f When the trip is along a famous trail 
t will be found that several cars are
