.During the late 1920's Gordon proudly traveled about Amesdale by dog team. His team consisted of two dogs, one being a beautiful white Husky named Prince. With his small team Gordon was able to travel the whole area for pleasure as veil as hauling groceries and mail.
In 1930 Gordon's dog team gave way to a new form of transportation, the automobile. His car was a 1924 four cylinder Chevrolet Series F, a thinly disguised offshoot of the Chevrolet 490. This was the first car in Amesdale. Despite the inconvenience of having to lift the car over railway tracks, it was an enormous success.

Later Gordon bought a 1929 Chevrolet International AC 4 Door Sedan. Besides facilitating transport of people and goods between the Amesdale General Store and Dryden, while courting his future wife, Beatrice Radford it carried them to Dryden for the occasional movie.
Gordon later purchased a black 1948 Chevrolet truck which was better suited for hauling groceries from Dryden . . . . . . .
