Had baths, breakfasts with Davidsons, Noley, Elizabeth offered to guide us a way, after A & D. repacked truck.  I rode with E. in her new car, B & D in truck.  E. had thought of driving till noon - We left their house at 10.30.  All had lunch together.  Just after they left us on lonely road, car stopped & would not go on. We found busted gas pipe which A. mended, a good job.  On to Carbondale at 7.30.  Brakes heated & smoked, a man yelled at us, we had to wait till they cooled.
