If they had known enough to release half the air from the driving wheels of the car when they wandered into loose sand it would have been a simple matter for them to drive back on the road and be on their way in short order. People who learned to drive during the twenties and thirties, when in most states there was pavement only in and around the cities, or those who were reared on farms and ranches, learned early how to handle a car under adverse conditions. Some of this know ledge could well be included in auto driving courses today. True, we do have four-wheeldrive vehicles today--Jeeps, Scouts, Land Rovers--for travelling where there is no road at all. But how often, when you get the urge, to ex plore a scenic bit of country ona sideroad, do you happen to be travelling in your Jeep, even if you are furtunate enough to own one? My adventuresome wife and I have done thousands of miles of “auto-hiking” over back -country roads, some of them very rough. We have yet to call for a tow to get out of a bad spot, although we did borrow a set of chains once to make it across an ice-encrusted hairpin turn, We have never since ventured forth without tire chains. {Useful for towing too.) We also are equipped with a good jack, basic mechanic's tools, an axe and shovel, agallon of water and several cans of lubricating oil. (You can puncture a crankcase on a sharp rock and lose all of the oil in minutes. ) We wouldn't be without a tiny compressor called "Engine-Aire” for inflating tires. Screws into-a sparkplug thread and the engine does the pumping. You can get one at an auto supply store. Did you ever disconnect a fanbelt to ford a stream or flooded highway “dip", use bacon rind for a wheel bearing, drag a log down a mountain grade when your brakes gave out? There are simple ways to extricate yourself and your car from nearly any dilemma, No, don'tstifle that urge to go adventuring off the beaten path. Auto-hiking is fun and it need not be’ dangerous if you go perpared. use a little common sense and take it slow and easy, with a sharp eye for rocks, washouts, sand, mudand all the other little hazards that were par for the course to yesterday's motorists, CAROUSEL The current exhibit at the Nevada City Artists Gallery represents the work. of 19 members of the Nevada City Art Association.
