September 5, 1919. Stockton to Oakland California, 76 miles in 9.25 hours. The 1st Division arrives home.
The Motor Transport Convoy pushed on to Oakland California on this day in 1919, putting them just across the San Francisco Bay from their objective.
No bridges spanned the bay at the time. They were feted upon their arrival.
The Gasoline Alley crowd was debating their vacation.

September 4, 1919. Sacramento to Stockton on the Motor Transport Convoy, 48 mile sin 7.25 hours.
General Pershing and officers of a composite regiment aboard U.S. transport Leviathan, Sept. 4, 1919
On this day in 1919, the Motor Transport Convoy, near the end of its destination, went 48 miles in 7.25 hours.
The Cadillac was about worn out. And it seemed like the command was as well.
Maybe they needed a vacation, like the Gasoline Alley gang was contemplating.
Somebody who wasn't taking a vacation was President Wilson, who was touring the country promoting the Versailles Treaty.
