When would be in 1954. I was eight years old. My Dad had just been promoted and had 3 weeks vacation for the first time. He borrowed a homemade teardrop trailer from a friend and bought a bumper pull hitch. We went from Cincinnati, Ohio to someplace in South Dakota. I didn't notice much of the trip because my folks bought a lot of comic books and rationed them to me. My Mom and I slept in the trailer and my Dad slept in the back seat of the car.
We stopped along the road one day to watch a movie being made. Charlton Heston was the wrangler for a wagon train. Later, we stopped at a drug store to buy more "6-12" insect repellant. The man behind the counter said they didn't have any. Or any other brand. He said South Dakota didn't have any standing water, so no place for mosquitos to breed. And he was right. That's probably not true anymore.
Funny what a seventy year old remembers.
