More on the Model T

Paul Misko sent me this information regarding the photos of the Model T that I posted previously.

Hi,
I can pin point the locations of the pics taken on the Model-T journey from Winnisook to Woodland, as I know this route well. The "Mile Post" was taken at the current Giant Ledge trail junction. The "Bridge" , which is no longer there, was located halfway between Winnisook Lake and the Giant Ledge trail junction. This was the perfect auto to take on this rough road, as it had a 10" ground clearance, and a frame built to "twist" on uneven ground without breaking. Note that the wheels had wooden spokes, and the windshield wiper was hand operated. Imagine trying to drive one of these in the rain while sipping a coffee, and text messaging. Still, one sweet ride.
