Marvelous bright warm day. Arose 5:15 A.M. Mother, Father, Ruth & I started at 6:45 A.M. for Brasefields, Easton Pa, 200 miles. Arrived there 5:30 P.M. Down west side of Hudson, Del. water gap etc. Wonderful trip. Nice visit. Ice cream in Eve. Down on board walk. Lots of excitement. Rode on ferris wheel etc. To bed 10:30 P.X.

So, now that I know where the Brasefields live, I know that they are Lester N. Brasefield & wife Fanny, children James and Clayton. They are the ones I had guessed they were. When Ruth went "after" them back on August 16, it must have been to the train station.

That does seem to be a nice trip down to Easton, which is near Allentown and Bethlehem. Here is a map of the route they might have taken:

The green area near Newton and under the marker for Route 209 is the Delaware Water Gap, which is now a National Recreation Area. Here is a closer look:
