Just outside the little at least two years, became a reality this town of Kayenta, Utah, we started driving past summer. Vickie and I left Cincinnati up a rather treacherous and narrow dirt road heading toward the top of a precipice known as the Dugway. After some 30 minutes of driving around breath-taking curves, edg ing up the cliff and praying that no one was coming down, we finally reached the top and were rewarded with a view of the Navajo country that few tourists see from this vantage point. Since we made it a prac tice to have our lunch each day at some scenic spot, we chose to stay right there and enjoy the beauty while quenching our thirst and satisfying the inner man. After about two hours we finally spied another car making the slow, tedious trip up the cliffside and, naturally, we had to welcome it to the place which we named "Rudie and Vickie's Hideaway.'' From San Francisco we travelled south along the costal scenic highway of the Pacific all the way to Ensenada, Mexico. During this 6-day portion of our trip, besides taking in the sights around Los Angeles, Carmel, San Simeon, Big Sur and San Diego, we stopped numerous times at the beaches along the ocean to enjoy the waters of the Pacific Anyone for Swimming?

The offerings of evada, APPOINTED TO FACULTY particularly in Reno and Las Vegas, were not overlooked and we celebrated our fourth wedding anniversary enjoying the Mickey Finn dinner show at the Golden Nugget Casino in Sparks, just outside of Reno. Besides this trip we had a few restful and carefree weeks at "Happiness House" in Cincinnati. It was a marvelous summer and our only regret was that we were unable to attend Homecoming at Brosius because it coincided with returning to work for the Cincinnati Public Schools. Finally, in closing, we highly recommend a tour of our western states to those of you who may not have had the privilege of seeing the beauty and wonders of this portion of the United States.
