Printed on verso: Photographers are enthusiasts - at least Krohn, who accompanied the E-M-F Pathfinder was. Also he was popular with the crew-that's why he was able to induce them to look pleasant under circumstances depicted in the photograph. Just after a Kansas cloud-burst the streams became torrents and the experience of fording them was not soon to be forgotten. Meinzinger says E-M-F "30" reveled in it, for it was the first time her underworks had been thoroughly cleansed of the clinging Wisconsin clay and Iowa gumbo.
