The fourth travel day got us to Rosemead, California, to our Uncle Gus’s house. I don’t recall going into their house. There was a tent in the backyard for the kids. My cousin Butch was my age and his two sisters Karen and Michelle were around Terry’s age. Sadly, I have lost contact with this group.

We took in DisneyLand. It was brand new at the time. Unlike today, we were issued ticket books when we entered with A, B, C, D and E tickets. Every ride or attraction required a ticket, with the best rides requiring an E ticket. There was a phrase in the 60s - ‘that’s an E Ticket ride’ - that came from these ticket books.

We also went to Knott’s Berry Farm and to the beach at Long Beach, I think for the 4th of July fireworks.

On the way home: Angeles Crest Highway, Las Vegas, Hoover Dam, Flagstaff Arizona, Grand Canyon (just a look over the rim), Painted Desert, Petrified Forest, Palo Duro Canyon and home. I am sure my dad hammered the dodge to get us down the road.
