[Postmark September 16, 1965, Sebastapol, California]
Dear D. & B. This same view continues along Calif. coast. We have just come over a highway like the Million Dollar Hwy in Colorado but this time I wasn’t the least bit afraid. We are going D.A. Mercurio – 3490 Frei Road Sebastapol—just a few miles from where we are eating back now. We may make a trip over to Reno to see Wingfields, then down to L.A. to see Aileen & Tom. We really enjoyed the coast of Oregon. We took our time and picked up rocks & agates along the way. Our vacation has been very enjoyable. Happy Birthday in case I forget to send you another card. Love Mother

“We are going D.A. Mercurio – 3490 Frei Road Sebastapol—just a few miles from where we are eating back now.” I have no idea what this means. And I look closely at her writing. I think it should read “eating lunch now.”
“picked up rocks & agates” a foretaste of her shell obsession to come in Sarasota!
“This same view continues along Calif. coast. We have just come over a highway like the Million Dollar Hwy in Colorado but this time I wasn’t the least bit afraid.” I think I was along for that drive years earlier on the Million Dollar Highway. Indeed, very scary!
