June 30, to September 3, 1969. 64 days, 12,220 miles.


Rockies, Wyoming. Altitude 11,000 ft

DAY 20

Saturday, 7/19/69

Leisurely morning. All boys ate in trailer. Talked more (with Krippendorfs) about work, need for religion, children, communication. After lunch all went swimming in private pool while I showered, washed hair, put away laundry. We took pictures and said goodbye at 4:00 p.m.
Had such a nice visit and certainly sealed our friendship. Drove on Pennsylvania Turnpike through rolling green Allegheny Mountains to Maryland and down to hot Washington, D.C. Of course, drove past White House and Washington Memorial and up 14th Street. We decided to (appropriately ?) “camp” in the parking lot of the Department of Interior! More adventures tomorrow.
7/19/69, Department of Interior, Washington, D.C. Parking Lot!
