Mal and Jo Glacier Park Lake Mcdonald Lodge

Short, warm, and very much 1960s— mal and jo at Glacier Park Lake Mcdonald Lodge in their own words. Now, we want to talk to you about Glacier National Park. Since we’re staying in lodges, we can’t tell you as much as we’d like to about the camping facilities, but we will include it. In this million acres of mountain land, trails, snow, glaciers, there are four main lodges.

Grand Canyon WBBM – September 1, 1968

Captured on the go— Grand Canyon WBBM in their own words. You leave after work, you board a jet, you have a dinner, you kind of stretch out and maybe look at a newspaper, and you’re there. Phoenix is low, Flagstaff is high, like up in the mountains, and it began to be hard little pellets and then sleet, and then by the time we went through Flagstaff, it was snowing like the middle of January a couple of years ago here in Chicago. There hadn’t been any snow at that point in Chicago.

Wisconsin Dells and The Cave WBBM – August 25, 1968

They keep it light and lively— Wisconsin Dells and The Cave WBBM in their own words. I recall we did a show earlier this spring on the Dells, didn’t we? Yes, we did, and we suggested that everybody should charge up to Wisconsin Dells because it was too far, so it’s not an expensive trip, a back easy weekend trip, and we recommended that everybody go in June and beat crowd. So we went in August and joined the crowds.

1968 Hilton Head Island – 1968

A quick slice of the late‑60s— 1968 Hilton Head Island in their own words. We want to tell you about a trip We took a year ago that took us into an area that my wife had been researching for some time Magazines began to be left open at my side of the table and up on my headboard And there was a kind of a concerted Education campaign for a place called Hilton Head Island And you know there still aren’t too many people who know where it is when the topic comes up people say Where’s that Hilton Head Island is in South Carolina, but just off the coast of Georgia and It’s a fabulous spot. It seems to me for a family vacation be great for couples but we took all of our children and we did it during spring vacation which I think is the duriest time of the whole year here because it isn’t really spring yet and Everybody’s sort of sick and tired of winter So it’s a good time to get away and the weather at that time of year at Hilton Head just spectacular We flew from Chicago down to Atlanta You can then pick up another flight and fly from Atlanta to Savannah Georgia But since we had not driven across that part of the southeast from Atlanta to coastline We rented a Hertz car piled our suitcases right in at the airport and then with our roadmap took off We got down to Atlanta about nine o’clock in the morning We run away by about 9 30 and it took the better part of the day. Yes, the roads are not great I mean there are no super highways that leads you directly to Hilton Head So if you don’t want to drive across Georgia, you’d better just fly all the way to Savannah And then it’s I think 20 or 25 miles from there and though it is an island There’s a bridge out to it.

Gaelic Imports – September 8, 1968

They talk it through in their usual breezy way— Gaelic Imports in their own words. We told you about Emmer Morris and his wonderful pasties and all the good food that was kind of on the Gaelic side out in the western part of Chicago. Well, we should sort of edge you over to the bagpipe room and interest you in what they call a practice chanter, which is the instrument that you learn to play bagpipes on. Unlike so many other musical instruments, you can actually learn to play for a small investment of about $12.
