Scope and content
In August of 1939, Ralph and Barbara Jenks planned to ride their bicycles from Tacoma to San Francisco to see the World's Fair. The trip was a delayed honeymoon. They hoped to be in San Francisco within ten days, allowing time to visit several relatives along the way. They planned to carry 75 lbs. of equipment including bedding, cooking utensils, and fishing tackle. They were leaving Sally, their 5-month old terrier, with neighbors. (T.Times 08-04-1939 p.16)
