Cloquet Fire

Sept 27th Sat. Beautiful morning. Left Stella’s house in Duluth at 9 0’clock. Frank rode downtown with us. Followed the black + white part way + blue + white through Barnum, Cloquet + Moose Lake with their all new houses built since the terrible fire of last fall. Sandstown Hinkley. Ate lunch south of Hinkley. Overtook the Crosbys here. I rode from here with the Crosbys with the understanding that we were to meet at White Bear, and I was to go with the Konantz and then to Minn. Saw them last at Rush Aly, were the Crosbys stopped about 8 minutes to see a relative. There we came through a very sandy road through Center City, Lindstrom, Chisago City, Forest lake, Wyoming, Hugo, W. Bear, arrived at W. Bear at 6PM. To not make the Crosby’s late for their dinner, I insisted on their going on, and leave me to meet the Konantz, as was planned – Miss Luis, Mrs Florence Akely Smith? + Mrs _____ came through and wanted me to go home with them. They finally ate their dinner at a restaurant and still the K’s did not come. – but as there was no place to leave word, I let them come on home and I waited until 8PM – when I was so hungry, tired and dizzy, I got on a St car and came to Plaza (at 10:30PM) and found the K’s had not waited for us at W Bear. I was peeved. Stayed with Anne over night.
