Courtesy Searls Historical Library Men from Grass Valley push, pull, and drag a Model T automobile over Sierra drifts in June 1911. Rope is wrapped around the tires for traction.


This looks serious......

6 men and the camera crew, how many cars did they have. It wouldn't have made it in the summer either.

Nice photo, have this companion one where they are wrapping the tires with rope, prior to heading up to the tree line and into the snow :-)
