"March 18-1924. Tuesday. Marathon It is a cold, overcast and foggy morning and rain not a little snow in the air. Under these circumstances will not go into the field until it clears up. The wind from G.E. did not change and it was miserable all day. Along two- some day sitting around and reading. March 19-1924, Wednesday. Marathon. A dark morning and lo it has been snowing during the night. The mountains are all in clouds and at light red out they are to be seen all covered with snow. By 8.30 the sun is out at times and it once looks as if the storm is over and that it will clear up. Talked over the situation with the Garage man and he advised me to delay until tomorrow when the snow would be out of the cars. Another long day of waiting ahead. Finally decided to get a car and man to take me to Raymond. After going 3 1/2 miles the Buick broke something and we had to walk back to Marathon. The walk was in the teeth for cold strong wind.
