Man Riding Motorcycle in Field

Description:

Text on back of photo reads: "Joe Gee finds little comfort in the 'cradle knolls' outside the rugged Dead Stream Swamp near Houghton Lake, Michigan. Note the 'daylight' beneath the front wheel of Joe's sturdy Triumph." The 25th annual Jack Pine 507-mile motorcycle race was sponsored by the State Journal over Labor Day weekend in 1951. The course went from Lansing to West Branch and back over Northern Michigan's rough jack pine plains and hills. No. 278 Joe Gee of Columbus, Ohio, won the trophy and symbolic cowbell with his Triumph motorcycle.
