100 years ago today, my paternal grandparents, Sam and Celia Rosenfeld, began a cross-country trip in a 1917 Ford automobile. They drove from Seattle, Washington to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They kept a log, which I will post here, on the dates when the log entries were written.

Tomorrow I will post a summary of the trip which they wrote years later, after reviewing the original log. It has information about the car, their expenses, and other interesting details.

Left Seattle July 30th.

Stayed in Portland until August 9th. Took Columbia River Highway, which was beautiful. Also visited Long Beach, Washington, going by way of Astoria, Oregon. Had a nice time here. The Pacific Ocean was like ice water. We liked getting up real early to dig for clams. We stayed with Ann Hurwitt's sister.
