    This article is interesting in its own right, as is any biographical sketch of someone who survives over a century, but I post it here for the account of the cross-country trip to California over 80 years ago.

    ". . . Ora had this idea: They'd hook up a homemade wooden trailer to an old Ford, and they'd drive all the way to the Pacific Ocean, three young women completely on their own in 1936, in the hard years of the Great Depression. . . .

    [​IMG]
    Florence Merle, (center), with her friends, Ora and Bernice Putney, before their 1936 road trip across the nation. (Family picture)

    "There were no interstates, no mobile phones. The three friends headed West. They slept in the trailer in gas station parking lots, and they'd pay attendants 50 cents a night for the key to the restroom. They learned to fix flat tires themselves. Once, when they broke an axle, some strangers stopped to help.

    "At the California border, the police stopped them . . . The police, trying to turn back the kind of desperate American migration described in The Grapes of Wrath, demanded to count their money. The officers told the young women they had enough to stay two weeks, then they had to leave.

    "They saw the redwoods. They saw Yosemite. They made it to the ocean.

    "The three friends took off their shoes, walked in the water, then turned around . . ."
