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.

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.

Vermont in the fall – September 5, 1968

They talk it through in their usual breezy way— Vermont in the fall in their own words. It’s been a long time since we’ve been to Vermont. Well, I’d always like to go but I think this is especially a good time of year because the colors are better in Vermont than they are probably anywhere else in the country except maybe this or maybe Aspen, Colorado. Well all right let’s take a little trip to Vermont then and let’s think of a good spot to stay and maybe do a little vicarious upping and dowing through the good old Vermont hills.

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.

Quebec City (Part 1) – December 29, 1968

Short, warm, and very much 19xx— Quebec City (Part 1) in their own words. But the other day we got to talking about a trip we took two years ago to Quebec City, Carnival. And we couldn’t find a place to stay in one of the big hotels and then right now I’m very glad of it because we were able to stay in a private home. Yes and you really don’t park on the streets in Quebec City.

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.

1968 In a pumpkin field at Wauconda Apple Orchard with Chris and Jeff (audio drops briefly in spots) 3 min – 1968

Here’s one from the stack—easygoing and chatty: 1968 In a pumpkin field at Wauconda Apple Orchard with Chris and Jeff (audio drops briefly in spots) 3 min in their own words. So if you’ve got a city type child as most of us have and you’ve never really planted a cornfield or a pumpkin field maybe one of these Sundays very soon now before Halloween you ought to get out into the country this is one of the places where and if you don’t pick your own apples this is a great project because you come in and you either your baskets or they sell you the baskets and then you take off and they show you where to park and they have the ladders and you go up into the trees and you pull all the apples you want and then you take them home and you feel so rich because all of a sudden you’ve got apples and squash and cider in the freezer and and taffy apples this is a ball it’s a good way to spend a Sunday think about it
