    Newsletter 49

    CARLTON WARE NEWSLETTER #49 From Ian Harwood & Jerome Wilson June 2010 It has been quite a few months now since we published our last Newsletter and much has happened since then. On January 1 of this year, when we could see that we had a few days break in the winter weather, we hit the road south out of Calgary, on our way to Florida! We had a house rented for January 15, so we had 2 weeks to get there. Our plan was to drive south as fast as we could, to get below the snow belt, and then turn east and drive across the U.S.A., stopping here and there on the way – for antique shopping, of course! Our fast drive south, out of the winter weather, did not give us time for any shopping. Our first day’s drive got us out of Canada and into Montana and a stop for the night in Great Falls. The second day we crossed into Idaho and then into Utah and stopped for the second night in Ogden. The third day saw us drive south of the snow line in southern Utah, briefly cross into the top corner of Arizona and then into Nevada, where we stopped for a couple of days on the Las Vegas strip. You can always find a cheap, first class room in Vegas – just find an hotel that isn’t holding a convention and the best rooms can be had for as little as $45 a night. We stayed at Bally’s, right in the middle of it all.
