The Motor Transport Convoy traveled from Medicine Bow to Rawlins on this day in 1919.
The diarist wasn't impressed with the roads or the conditions in any fashion. Indeed, he reported
Ft. Steele as being the only pleasant spot on the journey.
Today the highway doesn't pass through Ft. Steele as it once did, but is located several miles to the south. Interestingly, there is a campground near the current Interstate Highway.
On the same day, men were busy at work elsewhere in the West.
