Description

View of motorists in Premier car at Wyoming during the 1911 Premier Ocean to Ocean Run. Handwritten on back: "Premier, 1911. Portion of Premier Ocean to Ocean tourists shown in Wyoming near Continental Divide, running tonneau deep in flowers after miles and miles of utter barrenness. This is accounted for by the fact that the tourists were following the roadbed of an abandoned railroad where there had been a wreck. It seems that a smashed carload of seeds, covering about an eighth of a mile, took root and grew."
