The trip was a disaster with numerous automotive mishaps. In 1922, scott wrote a humorous narrative about their misadventures entitled "the cruise of the rolling junk. " two years later, the story was serialized and published in three-parts by motor magazine from february-april 1924. As the copyright for all photos in magazine articles published prior to 1926 has expired, this photo is verifiably in the public domain. Date: April 1924 (published).
