Oct 21st, 2018: Travel Log
Vaudeville performer Charles Kellogg could whistle/sing like any bird he ever heard, with a professed range of twelve-and-a-half octaves .
While he impressed his audience and producers, he himself was impressed by the Humboldt County Redwood trees. Quote:

I found a link with pictures of the interior and better pictures of the machine.

I had to read this great story twice since the first time I was thinking it was one of the Kellogg brothers of cereal fame.
One of the photo captions says "The Travel Log could reach 15 mpg, but probably only downhill. (Photo: Humboldt Redwoods State Park Museum)" I can't be sure if that is a misprint. |

The quad had 4 wheel drive, 4 wheel brakes, and 4 wheel steering to go anywhere, but not quickly.

I think this line's mostly filler.

It seems to defeat his purpose a bit for it to look so little like it was from one log. But I guess if it had kept its original shape and size, it probably wouldn't fit on some roads.
