This story is about two teen boys who needed a reality check. They dad happily helped them learned. Phalen and his brother were sent across the country to their mother’s horror. They saw the effects of the dust bowls. They saw areas of the country they probably never would have seen without that trip. The boys learned about the highway system. When they arrived in California they got a hard lesson. The highway patrol wouldn’t let them in until they could prove that they could provide for themselves. Kind of ironic compared to where they are at today. On their way home, they got to Ohio and had to wire for more money. Phalen and his brother were grateful for that lesson. They learned how lucky they really were.
