He got hold of a big old sedan, probably a Cadillac or Pierce-Arrow, that 7 or 8 men could crowd into and started hauling miners to Gilman. I don't think it was much of a success as it kept breaking down....

The Morgan cabin we stayed in is well portrayed. It was here we tied the horse to a boulder with an insufficient knot while we went down and tested it out. The trail was largely obliterated by rock creep and fall, but we thought the horse could do it with our...
