Kellogg's Travel Log

Kelloggs_truckTaken from a brochure some years ago: "It is the creation of one man. With axe and adz, Mr. Kellogg hollowed out the log and shaped and fashioned it into this most beautiful and complete dwelling; it has kitchenette, folding lavatory, toilet, clothespress, 12 lockers, folding double bed, stove, dining table, bookcase, dresser, electric lights, running water, guest room with single bed, lockers, etc."

Charles Kellogg was a contemporary of John Muir (they hiked together), had a number of unique talents including being able to give voice to any number of bird calls. The truck, the Nash Quad pictured, was used from 1917 to 1921 and it carried his redwood home around the country as he extolled the value of saving the California Redwoods.

As you can tell, I was more taken with the truck than his home on the back.
