LEISCHNER FAMILY ENJOYING VISIT IN CALIFORNIA June 15, 1930

The following letter was received from G. J. Leischner, from Los Angeles, California, under date of May 26th:

Dear friend John: Please mail the Parkston Advance to me at 325 East Elm, Lodi, California, as we expect to get there about two weeks from now. We are enjoying our trip; the roads were bad in some places. We had to change our route when we got to Denver, as the report was bad roads and snow by way of Salt Lake City, so we did not go that way. We went south of Denver on the southern route, crossing the mountains. One day we drove 150 miles in snow and rain, slippery roads so that we had to put the chains on for a while.

We are feeling fine. We were at the ocean beach for a few days, looking at the ocean waves coming to the shore, where 1,000 people are going in the ocean bathing. There is very much to see here.
