Small but a tough little bird…………
The Whippet was built by the Willys-Overland Corporation of Toledo, Ohio and was introduced in 1926. With a wheelbase that measured 100.25-inches, it was America's smallest car. It was also 200 pounds lighter than the equivalent four-cylinder Overland. Two engines were available including a four and a six. The engines were so durably that they eventually evolved into the powerplant for the Jeep more than a decade later.
In 1927, over 110,000 units were sold, making Willys-Overland third in the United States sales. However, with the onset of the Great Depression, Willys-Overland focused on a single low-cost car that would become the Willys 77.
The Model 98 was powered by a six-cylinder engine and was available as a Roadster, Coupe, Touring, Coach, and Sedan.
Production of the Whippet lasted from 1927 until 1931.

Hope you enjoy folks. Didn’t take the time or make the effort to extract the car out of its background and ran out of steam after spending hours to remove the sign that was plastered on the windshield (and on the windshield of every car at this concourse. Between the signs, placards, mobs of spectators, reflections, and dappled shadows from overhanging tree branches, trying to get unobstructed pictures of these cars was a “challenge” to say the least. And oh, did I also mention the blazing heat and humidity ………….. (just call me the complaining photographer ;)
This overland vehicle is really ace, don't you agree, Sven?
Wee bit tight on the inside, would've loved to have a seat too, Olaf.
Nej, you be defending our honour!
Our what?
Legitimately Obtained Owesome Treasure - short: Honour!
Uhmm, spelling is not your strong suit, eh?
Nej, chain mail is my strong suit - and that's called armour, looney!
Yeah, if you say so...
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
(*) Strong Suit is a metaphor meaning you're good at something - at least dict.cc claims so.

A word to the car: It's a Land Rover Invader... pardon, Defender.
Copied to 90% from BrickDesigners but not 7-wide, which looks better, but 6-wide, to fit in with the other two Landrovers I've already built.
Not visible in the picture is the rear axle - I managed to fit a swing axle in this model.
The likewise invisible roof-slopes for the rear door are an idea by Lichtblau.
You know it's a good car when you can keep your horned helmet on!
And apologies for the strong colours - my camera decided that I needed a filter on my pics and used the Expressive filter. I already wondered with the Superman picture, why the colours are off, but it took me some more pictures to find out what's wrong.
Toy Project Day 2109
Durante la década de 1900, el comerciante estadounidense John North Willys montó un comercio minorista de automóviles en la localidad de Elmira, Nueva York, donde se dedicó a la venta y representación oficial de la división Overland Automotive de la Standard Wheel Company. Sin embargo, los continuos problemas en el abastecimiento de suministros lo llevaron a tomar la decisión de adquirir esta compañía, hecho que se terminó concretando en el año 1908. Tras haber adquirido esta empresa, Willys la reestructuró y en 1912 pasó a denominarla Willys-Overland Motors, iniciando una nueva etapa en la industria automotriz. El crecimiento de Willys-Overland fue tal, que en 1913 adquirió una licencia para producir motores desarrollados por Charles Knight, con sistema de válvulas de camisa, lo que permitió el inicio de la producción de una serie de automóviles que fueron conocidos como Willys-Knight. La expansión de Willys incluyó la compra de la Electric Autolite Company en 1914. Previamente, se había hecho con las acciones de la Marion Motor Car Company en 1909 y un predio perteneciente a la quebrada firma Pope Motor Car Company, en la localidad de Toledo, Ohio. Allí, Willys trasladó toda la producción de sus vehículos levantando una importante fábrica, mientras que en 1912 terminó por tomar la decisión de renovar el nombre de su empresa por el de Willys-Overland Motors Company. Las acciones de esta nueva compañía se amplificaron con la llegada de la firma Ewards Motor Company en 1913, la Russell Motor Car Company de Toronto, Canadá en 1916 y la New Process Gear en 1917. Esto último, le permitió a Willys convertir a su empresa en la Willys-Overland Corporation. La lista de compras se agrandó en 1919, al ser adquirida una planta en Elizabeth (Nueva Jersey) que perteneció a la Duesenberg Motors Company. Durante esta primera etapa de producción, la nueva Willys-Overland alcanzó la segunda posición como productora de vehículos de los Estados Unidos, siendo apenas superada por la Ford Motor Company, entre los años 1912 y 1918.
A mediados de la década del '20, Willys-Overland adquirió una nueva compañía al hacerse con las acciones de la F. B. Stearns and Company continuando con la producción de los modelos de lujo Stearns, a los que se los equipó con los impulsores Knight, dando origen a la gama Stearns-Knight. A su vez, fue levantada una nueva planta en Indianápolis a donde debía trasladarse toda la producción de la planta de Elizabeth, destinándose una parte de la misma para la producción del Willys Six, sin embargo, la depresión de 1920 producida por la posguerra puso en jaque las acciones de Willys-Overland. Los bancos asumieron el control de la Willys, quienes a su vez contrataron al empresario Walter Percy Chrysler para sanear la situación. Una de las primeras medidas tomadas, fue la suspensión de la producción justamente del Willys Six, del cual se lo consideraba como un verdadero fracaso industrial. Sin embargo, su base fue tomada por el propio Chrysler para desarrollar un prototipo al cual llamó Chrysler Six. Para ello, contó con un equipo de ingenieros conformado por los ingenieros Frederick Morrell Zeder , Owen Ray Skelton y Carl Breer, quienes provenían de la Studebaker donde fueron conocidos como "The Three Musketeers" (Los tres mosqueteros) (Wikipedia)

UP 4551 East departs Cheyenne passing under the classic UP style US&S P5 signals. Signal replacement on the Overland Route west of North Platte seems to have been non-existent along with photos of these US&S classics. If its the lack of interesting power there is a 4 track bridge in Julesburg that sees SD40s everyday except Saturday, which means I have another 816 mile trip planned hopefully in the near future...

"Mr Kossoff, the astigmatism in your right eye has mysteriously corrected itself. Let me explain..."
The Overland Track ends here. One of Australia's premier hiking tracks starts at Cradle Mountain and finishes at Lake St Clair. In the old days people could make the trek in both directions, but in these days of regulation and user pays it is a register, pay and travel in one direction only track. As you'll see from the official link below it takes 6 days to make the 65 kilometre trek and will cost you $200 for the pass:
parks.tas.gov.au/explore-our-parks/cradle-mountain/overla...
A number of private companies have taken to promoting the trek and provide an all-inclusive guided service for several thousand dollars. I won't provide any links here, but you can find them online if you have the cash. As a former Australian Prime Minister once said, there is no such thing as a free lunch.
In 1931 fur trapper Bert Nichols created the Overland Track and by 1935 it was consolidated and used by independent walking parties. By 1937 it was officially named the Overland Track and the track had been upgraded to be used for guided tours and pack horses.

The Overland Track can be a very dangerous place to be, certainly with the very changeable weather in the region. So the fact it is well monitored and regulated is a good thing. In 1965 there was a disastrous school hike that claimed the lives of a student teacher, Ewan Scott, and a student David Kilvert. The heroism of Scott as he tried to save the life of Kilvert in blizzard conditions is remembered in this article: www.examiner.com.au/story/3068014/heroism-defined-in-moun...

Shots straight out of my iPhone... this is my 2018 Toyota Tacoma TRD 4x4 Off-Road truck transformed by the Asheville Vehicle Outfitters in NC to overland and rock crawl... I climbed to the summit of Windrock mountain (traversing one trail segment rated difficult). I then drove down to southern FL.. coming back to IL to finalize the sale of my house. Next spring, I’m heading into the wildernesses of Canada and Alaska, taking a 7+ month photography trip (and that’s just the beginning). It is parked in my driveway here in Macomb, Illinois... but I'm selling the house and will soon be living out of the truck.

Here is an unedited view of the Mundt barn with rough lumber shed in the foreground. The barn is atop the ridge and needed plenty of lightening rods. Modern #287 highway is just beyond on the rise; the original Overland Stage Route was across this land behind me. The ford over the Little Thompson crossed the Mundt property a qarter mile behind me. In fact, a marker is planted near the ford. It commemorates the death of an unknown traveler who died here. He apparently got a heart attack when he got his ankles wet at the ford. Nobody knows the story but he merited a sandstone marker out back.
All the fences behind the Mundt barn are on the way down. I got behind the barn and found better fencing although none of the corrals could contain livestock today. Livestock would get smashed up on the highway now. The Mundt barn and the Meining barn, west on county road #4, were built by the same contractor. Both familes were related through marriage. There are more possibilities than the Mundt barn out here. I found several prizes.
eDDie always finds barns for my agricultural collection. I have passed this place any number of times and it usually had a large, ugly dump bin in the view of the barn. This was shot north of Logmont. The place is about as abandoned as this shed.
A great sky showed up for a while and I raced north but could have found better skies to the west an hour earlier. Any sky dictated a day of trolling around Mundt with the camera. There have been too many blank and milk skies in Trumpistan lately. These are the Rockies but will fill with wet-footed folks from Miami and New Orleans soon enough. Too bad that we are locked into an orange environment now. Kiss it all good bye.

Overlanding in Oregon was simply a delight! This is one of the four different places that I camped in the beautiful Ochoco National Forest in Oregon. This particular spot was just off of the National Forest Development Road 41, one of the main roads in the Ochoco National Forest in the state of Oregon (United States).
I met several wonderful people while I was in this national forest and I now call them good friends. At this particular campsite, I met Mitchel Seals. He camped a night with me and we made some videos for my YouTube chanel (OverLandScapes).
Later, I hiked through the forest seeking a spring of water that found on GAIA GPS and I came across another camping spot that was more secluded and out of the way... but either hiking there or coming back, I lost my cell phone in the forest's undergrowth. After many fruitless hikes back and forth and even enduring a rain shower, I finally found it nearly 24 hours later. It was lying on the ground face up... and barely had power.
Then, I drove in a big loop to the new site I had found. It was there that I met Gary and Jill Miller. Gary had been a BLM ranger in the Steens and he encouraged me to go to the mountain to take pictures. He actually met me there and showed me around the mountain. Their son, Nick, who is now serving as a BLM ranger, had an up-close and personal encounter with a large male cougar. Nick is lucky to be alive. There is a video on my channel where he talks about this dangerous encounter and how he survived.
