In 1926 my grandparents, Clarence and Miriam Abia McFate of rural Poweshiek County, Iowa, built a ‘home’ on the back of what I believe was a Model TT Ford truck, and moved the family (3 adults, 5 children, and a dog) to Long Beach, California. They traveled 2800+ miles over the span of 41 days, about 35 of those moving from camp-to-camp.
