Warning: Avoid the plank road. A public warning was issued yesterday by the El Centro branch of the auto club of southern California that travel to Yuma via the plank road is dangerous. . . Parties attempting to travel suffer from thirst and hunger and are sometimes in danger of death as there is little chance of succor arriving unless a call for aid reaches Holtville or Yuma. –Imperial Valley Press, April 29, 1919.

The when Someone said a blog, I am hoping that this doesnt disappoint me approximately this place. Come on, man, Yes, it was my choice to read, but I just thought youd have something fascinating to mention. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something you could fix in the event you werent too busy interested in attention.
One word “informative”, you broke down precisely what I have been looking for. Looking forward to seeing more in the future.
