The last day out put us to shame 724 miles, turnpikes all the way, from northern Indiana home! It was a grind! The girls. Sally, Jean, Nan, and Carol, are busy passing out souvenirs to their friends. Dad is back at his engineering post at Chambers Works. And the lady of the house is unpacking and unpacking and washing and washing. I was not too enthusiastic when someone suggested at the dinner table, "Why, in five or six years, we could try this thing to Europe!" Well, maybe! Just give me time! fornians out to explore the vastness of that state.

For the most part, they weren't natives, but transplanted families exploring their new state home. Camping rigs were fascinating to observe. Trailer campers traded ideas back and forth. Tenters showed their set ups to each other. None minded the curiosity they evoked.

Especially popular are the trailers on pickup trucks, which seem practical for families of four or less. The real camper in this family is the male parent, there's no doubt about it. We Girl Scouts were way behind him in adeptness, endurance, and pure enthusiasm. He was up to greet the sunrises and get us rolling. ONLY SIX DAYS of the 31 (This is the last in a series of reports from Mrs.

Sprakcr, our Fairfax area correspondent, on a coast-to-coast tent trailer trip icith her husband and four daughters.) By EILEEN C. SPRAKER OAK LANE MANOR (Special) Now that we Sprakers have arrived home safe and sound from our tent trailer trip to California and back, it's time to sort out how the economy of the thing worked out. To sum up the figures, we came out with $90 to spare on our $1200 budget for the month-long trip. (The girls are already needling for a weekend at the seashore!) In tallying up the figures, we found that the six of us bad traveled 8,025 miles in 31 days at a total cost of $1109.77. Per fornia, we did as far south as Long Beach and Leguna and as far north as Frisco and all in between.

Salt Lake City will have to be on another trip. It was that or Yellowstone and we voted the latter. New Mexico and southern Arizona we hope to visit some day. We covered or touched on 19 states in our travels and we'd like to see more of California, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Minnesota and Wisconsin. WE DIDN'T see many fellow Delawareans in our travels.

When registered at Yellowstone, the ranger said they hadn't had a Delaware car for more than four weeks. There were many Pennsylvanians, Mid westerners, and in California, we found lots of Cali- person, the trip rounded out to about $185 for the month or about $6 per day per person. THE CAMP trailer for which $184 of our funds went for rental was used 18 nights in all in state parks, privately operated camps, national forests and parks, the backyard of a friend. The last night out, in desperation, we camped on a truck weighing strip beside the Indiana State Police headquarters near Indiana Dunes State Park (with the troopers' blessing!) Eight nights we enjoyed the comfort of fond relatives' domiciles, and lived it up in motels the other five! This cost $82 Accomodations ranging from $22 per night at the Peter Pan near Disneyland where we had a two bed when we were visiting relatives v.hen there were relatively few expenses. (Bless their souls!) And the day in Disneyland, where we really "lived it up" The bill for that day was $71.40, of which more than $40 was dropped right at the amusement park as father winced! But the girls thought that day was worth the whole trip.

As one of them said, after trudging for more than 10 hours through the attractions, "It's everything I dreamed it would be!" Mr. Disney would indeed be gratified! We didn't get in all our itinerary. Space just seems to stretch itself out West. The maps just can't begin to record the vastness, Mexico will have to wait. And so will Oregon.

In Cali room suite, at Lame Deer, where one big room served us well. A major item on our list of expenses was food $265, about $100 more than we spend at home. This included many meals in cafes and restaurants one at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco which amounted to $26. Camp fees ranged from $2.75 at a private camp, Little Switzerland on Lake Gregory in California (wonderful hot showers here) to $1 in Boulder, Zion, Utah; Grand Canyon, Lake Tahoe, Calif; and Fox Lake, Minn. At five state and national parks, there were no fees at all.
