When my great uncles headed west to North Dakota to homestead, they told me they would circle the model T with a sisal/hemp rope to keep the snakes away while they slept under the car. Guess Ben an Elmer were hip back in da day.

Didn't they know they were supposed to camp up on the roof? Overlanding rookies, Ben and Elmer.
