When Cars Came to the Pacific Northwest | Mossback's Northwest

[@davec9244]

Not a Sunday drive in those days. A good challenge can be fun! An old timer (long gone now) told me it was an all -day drive from the Tualatin Valley to the Oregon cost. In a model T spent the night and drove back the next day. He added had 6 flat tires carried lots of spares Some was wooden planks but mostly mud roads. thank you

Love the videos you've done with Nick Zentner.

Great history, Knute... To think my Grandpa was one of those early drivers in the 1920s. He drove a Ford Model T and told a lot of stories about driving around Black Diamond, Kent, Issaquah, and Renton on dirt and gravel roads, then all the way to Oakland, California during the Great Depression to find work with his brother.

Carl Clancy Stems was the first person to ride a motorcycle around the world in 1913. He said the most difficult part was between Portland and San Francisco.

Shocking thing to me about the PNW as a northeasterner is the many, many 1960s-1990s cars still in daily use. It's the Land that Rust Forgot.

The image at 6:24 Looks suspiciously like Duluth Minnesota looking towards Wisconsin and down the spit known as Parkpoint.? Anyone recognize this image?

[@dirkfrazier9779]

No, but without a mountain on site, it does look suspiciously like Wiscosin!

Don't need to see the narrator. Voice over is sufficient.
