Road trip
Recently a series of photos of a group of friends who took a road trip thru Death Valley in 1926, came across my feed. I captured the ones which showed the Model Ts that they used and present them here.

Re: Road trip
What a wonderful documentary !! Thank you Tom.
Model T camping at its best !! I know that kind of trek wouldn't appeal to many, but for me, a trip like that would be as fulfilling as a pack trip horseback. I wish those roads and the solitude still existed for us to enjoy.

Get a horse !

Re: Road trip
I wonder where that second picture was taken? Looks a bit like Titus Canyon in Death Valley. The 12th one looks a bit like the Bonneyville Salt Flats near Salt Lake city. Wherever they were taken looks like the great desert of the southwest.

Re: Road trip
Great photos. What an adventure for those hardy folks.
Last photo shows Rhyolite, Nevada RR station. Looks like it had already been abandoned for awhile judging by the 1926 photo.

Re: Road trip
…and how and why did those 2 men ascend and stand on that chimney in the last picture ?!?!?! That’d be a deadly vertigo moment for me.

Re: Road trip
I would never attempt it at my age. Just on level I can lose my balance. However, when I was young would have no problem. I climbed poles for a living for many years. Probably the other man on the peak of the roof helped them climb up there.
