Driving Laurel Canyon 1912 it was still a dirt road in 1916.

We went to Christian Science church in A.M. and then to Root's and got Benedicts and drove them to L.A. and we went on to Ethel's and had duck dinner. In afternoon we all went for a little drive up Laurel Canyon. We stayed all night. Floyd and I on A single bed, Ethel and Ma on a double in one room, and Pa and Grandpa in the other. Dull all day.

Mon. Jan. 24, 1916

Up early and I began collecting somethings I had left - violin, drawing tools, bicycle, "etc ' and loaded  them in the auto. We left for Anaheim about two and drove thru the rain part of the way but it cleared before we got there. Also brought 4 hens and a rooster in a box and they immediately made themselves quite at home in our new yard. I read in my new books the rest of the day.
