driving across country was a thing ordinary underpowered skinny wheeled cars could do 100 years ago, Dolph Andrus's many problems with his Maxwell near Tuba City were photographed for posterity

of course, there were a lot of issues that came up occasionally that required problem solving

This Maxwell had 3 guys, a pick, and a shovel. And someone else using a camera to take this photo.
