Neil, Mr. R. P. (Robert); Hargrove, Miss Ida; and Glenn, Mr. and Mrs. D.L. left Ashland on 8-10-1911 for Port Orford, Oregon. Mr. Glenn reported to the Ashland Tidings, "Today, the 15th, we ran out to Cape Blanco, eleven miles, where the Cape Blanco

Lighthouse stands. Mr. Neil thereby gained the novel distinction of running the first auto that was ever that far west in the United States." The two girls are not identified.
