Aftermath of Black Sunday

April 16, 1935  First of all we hung out the wash from yesterday.  After we brought the wash in, we went to Dodge City.  Because of the dust, it was miserable driving.  But we made it safely.  We left the little children at C. Dalkes. 

This was two days after Black Sunday (see the post for April 14, 1935).  They had washed on Monday, the 15^th, but it still too windy from the storm to hang out the wash.  Finally on Tuesday, the 16^th, the storm had died down so that they could hang out the wash to dry.  Then they went to Dodge City, probably to do shopping or to go to the doctor.  But there was so much dirt drifted across the roads from Black Sunday that it was difficult to drive the forty miles to Dodge.
