Re: Traveling
What a treat to see this morning, thank you! So many different auto organizations with special radiator badges. Although in this post, all three instances of radiator badges look to be the same car.

Re: Traveling
When I was a boy, there was a paved road to Mt. Wilson via Angeles Crest Highway from La Canada. However the old toll Road was still there but closed to automobiles. Still used it for a hiking trail. We used to hike up there from Big Santa Anita Canyon and Winter Creek. The last leg of the trail followed the old toll road. There were still Model T's on the road in those days. used as daily drivers. They lasted a long time because of the "great depression when people could not afford new cars and WWII when civilian cars were not being sold for several years. Used to be at least 2 which went by our house every day and many others parked in town while people were doing shopping.

Re: Traveling
Could the 12th and 15th touring from the bottom be a Canadian sourced same Model T ? I ask primarily because Allan Bennett has said they were equipped with the visible top bow holding clamps. Also, the 3 large isinglass rear ‘lights’ don’t appear in US factory production…. Thank you for enabling our era viewing enjoyment Tom. Keep ‘em coming.

Re: Traveling
The photo of the older man contemplating whether to go across the muddy road or turn around says a lot when T’s were being used for transportation in the early days of motoring. Could he be thinking about burning out the bands or just turning around. It’s the 12th photo from the top.
Great group of traveling photos and no air conditioning like today! What would people think about doing that today!,,

Re: Traveling
Toll House car has John Brown 19's and below is another photo of that car.
It has 1913 California plates and seems to have the buckets painted black.
The White Pole Garage, Oakland, Ca. with a batch of new 1913's with the
John Brown 19's (little harder to see). Another dealer in Colchester, Illinois,
with some John Brown 19's and 100's on new 1913's (first two at left bottom).

Re: Traveling
Photo number 22 from the top looks like the hairpin curve on the road to Cerro Gordo mine, but I cannot be sure.
