In writing to Advertisers mention Forest and Stream. It will 
way over southbound in one-way high¬ 
ways, and eastbound over westbound, or 
vice versa. Even attorneys and courts 
are at a loss in some finely drawn con¬ 
ditions. Common sense and doing more 
than the law demands is the only safe 
course. A tourist will not find a law¬ 
suit worth while, after he has been 
smashed up, to determine who had the 
right of way in the circumstance. Pull 
out, stop and give the way to the other 
fellow. I do not recall a delay of five 
minutes resulting from giving every one 
else the benefit of the doubt on strange 
highways. 
Up-bound traffic has the right of way 
in the Rockies. Don’t presume on this 
where one may meet a fool tourist from 
the East making Coast to Coast or Bust 
in thirty days. We climbed Berthoud. 
The old wagon trail, two ruts wide, 
had every few hundred feet a switch 
dug in the wall. The other fellow 
should have pulled into one of these to 
let us climb. All did but one. We met 
head on at an aerial cape, with a plunge 
2,500 feet deep on our right hand, and 
a steep slip bank on the left. A head- 
on collision there, both drivers realized, 
meant probably one or both cars rolling 
down into the canyon. No question of 
right of way could be asked there— 
neither had blown his horn and neither 
could stop in that thirty or forty feet. 
I slammed into low and straddled the 
brink. He pulled up onto the slip bank 
and we passed each other, though I felt 
my car side-slipping in the loose earth. 
At this same place Courtney Riley 
Cooper saw a car, with father, wife and 
three children go rolling over and down. 
The father had lost his nerve in the 
high, tremendous environment. He had 
skirted the brinks of doom. He had 
driven under highest tension—his wits 
were gone. He went on when he should 
have stopped and waited, a day, a week, 
or any length of time, to grow cool 
again. 
No man, realizing himself In an unfit 
condition, should undertake to drive 
when on a tour. Desert-blindness, 
mountain sickness, nerve-fatigue, .or 
sleepiness should be warning not to go 
on into the unknown peril. Going back 
over a highway may be better, in some 
conditions, because a road once tra¬ 
versed is easier by far than at the first 
attempt. 
Over-doing is the great peril. Going 
slowly, taking it easy, resting often, 
keeping cool, not worrying, and at diffi¬ 
cult places walking ahead to look them 
over, mud-hole or rutted hill, or slick 
precipitous road—a bit of patient study 
and exercise of judgment will save un¬ 
numbered stalls and accidents. It is 
even a good thing to wait till some na¬ 
tive comes along and shows how it is 
done. 
“Hit ’er hard!” for rutted muck, but 
“Take your time” for water ford or 
long-continued rutted mud with hard 
bottom. 
A few minutes’ talk in local garages 
and at filling stations, or with tourists 
or local drivers will often give one the 
open-sesame that enables one to go 
through conditions with but one way of 
identify you.
