Sullivan's was in a wooded dip among the low hills We were getting into the foothills of the Range now. The roadhouse was low and sprawling, so comfortable looking, larger than the others so far, with a wing extending out the back. Pa Sullivan himself and a barman came out to greet us, both looking well fed, rosy of face, both in shirt sleeves. "Where's your wheels? Don't you know spring come day before yestiddy?"
Pa helped me off the load. "Pretty tough guy, this driver of yours, ain't he? Now you run right along in to Ma. She fix you up, and we'll bring in your stuff."
Erected by Delta Chamber of Commerce.
