I suspect these stories aren't so unique for that day.  I never knew of 
them being armed on the trip but it would not be a shock.  These trips 
would have been in the same era.

It always gives me pause when I can follow the exact same route and even 
with the sprawl I can make that distance in a few minutes rather than a day.
