Wanderlust By Evelyn Corrie Birkby
(excerpt from Kitchen-Klatter magazine, August 1958, p.9) "Wanderlust hangs heavy upon the family that lives in the white house beside the busy highway! Starting late in May the cars which go by take on a "new look." Now they are bulging with suitcases, trunks, bed rolls, sometimes a boat, clothes on hangers across the back seat, mama, daddy and children of various sizes. Now and then a happy looking station wagon stretches by. More often than not, a family-sized trailer trots along behind a car headed for most anyplace. By the first of August our case of wanderlust becomes acute indeed!" It is fun to imagine where these happy family groups might be going. When the cars south we can imagine the Ozarks, Mexico, Disneyland, the Rockies, Yellowstone, Salt Lake City, the Pacific Ocean--and Waubonsie State Park. When we see a heavy laden vehicle going north we know it may have as its destination Gooseberry camp ground beside beautiful Lake Superior, a tour of Canada, Chicago or New York, Washington, D.C., the Atlantic Ocean--or relatives in Tabor. It is really possible to go anyplace in the world starting here on highway number 2."
