Wednesday, December 4, 1963 The Frances Hubbard Diaries

December 4, 1963
Wednesday, cold, 10 at LaVerne's.  We left for Calif. 6:20 am.  Went to Oneonta and to Utica, roads miserable with snow and ice.  Got on the Thruway at Utica 9:20 am, road good, becoming sunny.  Road wet with some snow west of Syracuse becoming sunny until 20 miles from Penn. line then some snow again.  Reached Ohio line 2:50 pm.  Had to detour above Akron and got mixed up.  Reached Lodi around 6 and stayed all night.
Comment:  About 500 miles or so in some tough driving.  They must have driven by the Madison, OH Exit 212 on their way into Cleveland then south to Akron and Lodi.  Sixteen years later , Mary Ann I would live there for thirty five years and raise our kids, and where they also would visit numerous times.

You're always young in your mind it is said, No matter the face in the mirror, That you see with surprise then say to yourself, "What is that old man doing here?"
