What is that white stuff?
My brother is spending the weekend up in Embudo (30 miles south of Taos) at a cabin on the Rio Grand and this morning had 6" of snow on top of his car. Good for the drought though...

I had thought the white stuff was just a rumor, it turns out it does exist.


I know where Embudo is, gorgeous country around there. I spent some time doing some structural geology mapping in that area back in the 90's.

The cabin is on the west side of the highway at the bottom of the gorge, right next to the path of the old narrow gauge railway. There is still a wooden tank that once held water for the steam engines. It is a beautiful spot.
Around here we don't have a clue of what that white stuff is, the last time we had any I was much, much younger...

Just went for a stroll down the road:







Deciding if I want to cut out the 1948 small rear window and put in the 1952 larger one? Then it wouldn't be quite as much of a mix-n-match.

Chris, Glad to hear you were able to her out for a spin. Sounds like fun!
How much time will the window take? You know Earl is waiting for you to get back to him.

Actually Chris, I would just put the correct front end on to match the cab
Glad you got to take it for a drive!
