We rented a Jeep and we got this four door wrangler unlimited sport, -white.  We took the roof top off and drove all over the island. It was fun to drive,and  we got 18 mpg that week with gas at $2.50 /gal. Only complaint is that that wrangler really needed new brakes. The photo of us and wrangler at Kaena point, that’s as far as the road went west.

This battery powered jeep was built by J. F. Scott of Seattle. It weighed 100lbs and can reach 10mph. Based on all the kids, it doubles as a personnel carrier, too!

Fred “Fritz/Snuffy” Rowland’s CJ-2A

• CATEGORIES: Features, Magazine, Old Images This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Former Idaho cowboy and restaurant owner Fred “Fritz” or “Snuffy” Rowland (he was known by both nicknames) moved from Idaho to Beatty, Nevada, late in life to try his hand at prospecting. Fritz found uranium and gold, but nothing amounting to a big strike. His story was shared in the July/Aug Westerner Magazine in an article titled “Death Valley Gold Digs.”
