General Note
The trail blazers were the first men to cross the unfinished portion of the trail (from Fort Myers to Everglades City) in automobiles. The group included one commissary truck, 7 model T Fords, and a new Elcar but only the 7 Fords made it.
The Ford Model T Coupe, in which Russell Kay and Frank Whitman made the trip, was owned by Florida Grower magazine.
