Automobile Trip
In June 1916

My friend A. r. Matthews and my
self talked about making round
trip to Pittsburgh in one day by auto.
50 ON a beautiful Sunday morning
in June, 1916, we left Oakland at 8
o'clock i'm the morning, drove north
to Keyser Ridge to the National Pike,
now called L. S. Route 10. The Ma
tional Pike from Keyser Ridge to
Uniontown, Pa, was only partly i'm
proved Sections as long as to 6
miles were nothing but loose rock
and chuck holes, some quite bad, We
arrived in Uniontown about 1890
o'clock in the morning From Union
town we drove to Brownsville, Pa.
There we left the old Pike and turned
North and down the river to Pitts
burgh
About one hou out of Brownsville,
we were obliged to stop due to
plenty Of noise from the car. We
raised the hood and found the exhaust
line had become disconnected from
the engine manifold. After waiting
about ten minutes for the metal to
cool, we were able to connect the line
back in place. and in order to make
it secure, we helped ourselves to wire
from a fence by the road, wired in
below the union and back up to the
bolts which held the manifold to the
engine block. Off we went again for
Pittsburgh.
In going down the hill or street to
the Wood Street bridge, which was
quite steep. | got down by using the
foot brake and reverse pedal, which
you could do on a Ford model T.
got down in good shape, only bump
ing the fender of street car which
was coming up the hill BY two
o'clock we were at the Fort Pitt
hotel After using plenty of soap and
water in .he Mushroom, we went in
the dining room and had big dinner,
after which we did some window
shopping and mailed some cards to
friends. BY four o'clock, we again
took to the road returning on the
same route, arriving in Uniontown
before seven o'clock and stopping at
the Tetlow hotel for supper We left
Uniontown as soon as possible. Our
drive home was fine. as we had full
moon that evening. We arrived in
Oakland by eleven o'clock.
l feel this was the first round trip
by auto in one day from Oakland to
Pittsburgh. The mileage for the trip
was 31S miles. Our driving time was
less than twelve hours This is what
you could do in Ford model 7
roadster. This same car is now owned
by William Shafrer and is often seen
in parades on the 4th Of July and
Labor Day, in Oakland On our trip,
