The way back was pretty much of the reverse of going up. Music, landscape and occasional stops for gasoline and for meals. The one main difference is we were in different places during the daytime this time. When we came up, we passed through the scenic Turner Falls area south of Oklahoma during the nighttime. This trip back was during the daylight and we got to see some very fine scenery. It was also the first time I ever noticed solid white lines at the edge of the road. I don't remember seeing them in those days except at Turner Falls, and we really appreciated them then. There was no shoulder and the very edge of the road is where it meets the verge had an upward curled lip and white stripe. It wouldn't do to run off the road here in the daytime let alone at night.

We got home during the night and Bud spent the night at our house in Alice. The next day I took him to Grandma (his) Mynier's house on the lake in the Pernitas Point subdivision.
