road most of the way to Riverside our next stop but mostly all picked. this is the most prosperous looking part of the country we have seen arrived at Riverside about noon. Parked across from 54 Hidalgo and took a walk in the Park. it looks just the same as 3 years ago. after dinner called on Coppley Bros. both well but there mother has been in bed 2 1/2 yrs with a broken hip, drove to Fairmont Park. a great park for children all kinds of swings etc. the Lake was not as nice as usual, the water had been lowered to repair a bridge after supper called on Dr Baird. he was glad to see me. and we had a long talk.

Mar 12th Leaving for San Diego think we both hate to leave here. we both think it is the prettiest place in Calif. The first few miles out was orange groves. then we climbed a grade up the hills. then all farming country to Perris about 25 miles. Rocky around here. Lots of Olive groves some had the trees planted among the rocks next stop Lake Elsinore a nice little inland lake and Village, all farming from here to Temecula where we crossed the River Temecula on a floating bridge. the main bridge washed out by the Feby flood
