Dust Bowl Journal
Five years of dust that is slowly killing us. My father is finally giving in and letting us move. The CCC does not seem to be helping the dust stop. My father says he has had it, and won't allow his children's lives to be ruined any longer. We are setting out on Route 66 in a few weeks. I have no idea what this will bring for us, if we will even survive, but it is our only option.
Goodbye.
