52 Park Place. Watertown, N. V. 
broken chassis reach, better than a 
towline. It ties on mudhooks. It takes 
the place of insulated wire as a con¬ 
duit, especially if wrapped with tire 
tape. A broken top frame, a dried out 
steering wheel rim, a sagging fender, 
any of countless breaks and unfastens 
can well be studied to see if a haywire 
length or two (or even a piece of wire 
fence) will not serve. 
The driver who has just learned finds 
himself nonplussed and helpless on 
many a short run close to home. The 
same man, after he has driven 30,000 
miles and has been obliged to meet a 
hundred emergencies, is hard to keep 
stalled. Even in the event of trouble, 
he can save a tow-in by telling the 
service station what is the matter, and 
what parts to bring out. On a tour, 
merely being able to diagnose a car’s 
ailment, will perhaps be of utmost im¬ 
portance. One should know his car, the 
more intimately the better. Nothing 
else is as important as understanding 
the mechanism. 
The truly expert driver, who has a 
few tools, and a few bits of metal, some 
simple spares and a bit of mechanical 
ingenuity, coupled with familiarity 
with his particular car, is mighty hard 
to keep stalled. Makeshift repairs are 
often feasible. Certainly, anything 
that goes into a car can be taken out 
and replaced. It may be a long job— 
but what one man can do, another man 
should not find impossible, even if he 
must attempt it for the first time. One 
learns, for example, to make a founda¬ 
tion for the jack of wood or stone or 
even folded canvas after he has had to 
lift a car in soft ground, in mud, or 
sand or humus. By and by, he will 
block his car up, and work himself out 
of a ditch by using a jack—two jacks 
are worth five times as much as one 
in a ditch or muck or when there is 
rear-end trouble. It is worth the cost, 
to have two jacks in a car. 
On occasion, trouble seems heart¬ 
breaking. Perhaps a storm is coming, 
or raging, perhaps one is in a long, 
miserable stretch of highway, camp 
only a few miles distant, night coming 
on, and even recognized and repairable 
difficulty is irksome. On such an oc¬ 
casion, probably the best thing to do 
is to spare a precious minute or two, 
first of all, to go into the proper frame 
of mind. 
I mean exactly what I say when re¬ 
marking that automobile or other 
trouble on an automobile tour is a 
frame of mind. I hate to think how 
many scores of times I have con¬ 
fronted the problem of a stalled motor, 
a mysterious light abnormality, a most 
inopportune flat tire, or a twisted axle, 
a gToueh in the gears, a skip in the 
motor. Enumeration of all the things 
that may disturb the serenity of rolling 
over even a beautiful highway is of 
small assistance to the tourist about 
to venture forth for the first time, go¬ 
ing to far states and distant play¬ 
grounds. 
What I conceive to be the most im¬ 
portant thing is that a party of tourists 
should, from the very beginning, make 
up their minds to enjoy even the dis¬ 
comforts, the unexpected setbacks, and 
any so-called troubles that may arise. 
From my own experience, I can truth¬ 
fully say that I do not begrudge any 
of the time, the embarrassments, the 
worries, the efforts that I have met on 
long journeys. 
At the time, I have made mistakes, 
lost my temper, and perhaps lost my 
head. But more and more I feel that 
we cannot at the moment tell what is 
the best of the trip, nor what is the 
worst. One moment of dire peril, on a 
slick clay mountain road, coming down 
out of Rabbit Ear, lives now in my 
memory as indicating the double mean¬ 
ing of a trip. 
I was in a grim desperation, holding 
the car, knowing that any failure on 
my part meant a plunge into the depths. 
My family was in a nervous rigidity, 
realizing the situation. We rolled 
down breathlessly into the valley far 
below. Right there, in that intensity 
of dread, I glanced over my shoulder 
and saw the majesty of the Rockies, the 
Continental Divide, I saw thunder 
storms on three different levels, one of 
them below us, and the serene sunlit 
beauty of the mackerel-bone lacery in 
the upper skies. I saw the chromatic 
scale —all the colors—and if that terror 
slope did nothing else for me than 
make unforgetably impressive the won¬ 
derful immensity of the western slope 
of the Rockies, I may well revel in the 
fact all my life. The very misery and 
dread of that grade makes it one of 
the most valuable of all my experiences. 
So it often proves. A dirty spark 
plug may prove the cheap introduction 
to the unexpected, undreamed-of trea¬ 
sure-experience, not merely of a day's 
drive, but a life-time. Necessity, be¬ 
cause of mechanical trouble, forcing a 
camp in the midst of wilderness or 
desert, at the time dreadful to contem¬ 
plate, may after all introduce one in¬ 
timately to the best the earth has to 
offer its adventurers. 
Nature, a thousand times, baits its 
visitors into the cathedral places of the 
earth by some trifling diversion. As I 
reckon back in my own experience, i 
know the best things that ever hap¬ 
pened to me on a tour often were in¬ 
troduced by what at first seemed to be 
a vexatious delay, or trouble, or even 
break. Perhaps I should suggest that 
in case of trouble in the far places, 
the tourist might well, first of all, 
take a look around and try and see 
why the playful gods should want the 
party to stop just there.
