September 9, 1921. Started at 8:30 and were making splendid time when one mile east of Nelson we broke a hub. When this happens the machine cannot go. We were on a small hill with nothing around us but wilderness. The whole wheel has to be replaced when a hub is stripped; this happening to us for the third time on this trip. Nelson was a very small town, just a few houses. I had to walk back to the town, send a wire to the Ford agency in Kingman to send a new wheel by rail. This arrived the next day around noon. Every mschine that passed us offered their help. All we needed was some water, which everyone carried on these trips.
