at farms along the way (a wonder¬ 
fully attractive orchard camp west of 
Ft. Plain), and through Little Falls 
(opposite the Big Canal Lock), and on 
westward. We stopped one night last 
fall under a fine old maple beside the 
road in an unfenced field, west of Utica 
about forty miles, and prepared and 
happen-so camping places appear at 
intervals all the way west now. Curi¬ 
ously enough Niagara Falls, and some 
other noted resort places, to which tens 
of thousands of automobiles drive, there 
to spend good money, force the tourists 
to leave local business and wander off 
five or ten miles to find some back lot 
or open field camping place, no munic- 
ipal grounds being provided for camp¬ 
ers, or at least none were last fall. 
^ West from Buffalo, the shore of Lake 
Erie is available here and there. At 
Westfield, turning north a mile, there 
is a camp at Barcelona Bay. There 
aie many farms on west to Cleveland 
where “rural” camps may be made. We 
ran under a railroad culvert and came 
out on a knoll overlooking the lake and 
cooked dinner in a glorious place. At 
Cleveland the city has provided a beau¬ 
tiful bench beside the lake with a bath¬ 
ing beach and water conveninces, one 
of the finest camping places from Coast 
to Coast, right in the city’s fine park, 
with room for hundreds of outfits. 
There are beaches all along the lake 
which can be found by local inquiry 
where, if a party is not entirely alone, 
it will nevertheless find the isolation 
gi eater than one would dream possible 
in these days of thronging highways 
and fenced lands. 
And speaking of fences; the old days 
of barricades against one’s neighbors 
are visibly disappearing. In grain 
legions, through even the vinyards and 
orchards, the expense of building fences 
merely to mark the boundaries is be¬ 
ing saved. In dairylands, of course, 
fences are maintained for cattle, but 
around the hay and grain fields, why 
build fences? The question once asked 
has resulted in the inhospitable fences 
being allowed to fall down. Even the 
homesteaders in the open prairies are 
not building fences, but mark their 
boundaries by the industry of their 
plowing. Fences do not so much keep 
people and things out as they hive in 
their builders—and when one has met 
the thousands upon thousands of farm 
people, after the summer and early au¬ 
tumn harvests, as they tour up and 
down, it is plain that the land owners 
don’t want to be fenced in! And by 
the same token the farmer tourists are 
less and less fencing people out. And 
beyond central Kansas and Nebraska 
for score of miles at a time there are 
no fences. 
Where there are no fences and no 
cultivated lands, if one has the abso¬ 
lutely necessary water tank, it is fea-
