Hey Dennis,
I'm jealous - you have a real Fall with colors and everything!
Texas just goes from scorched to brown. So..... did you win any prizes in the car show?
Looking good in Pennsylvania.

Ben, I didn't win anything, but a friend won a first with his 56 Victoria. Dennis
Beautiful photo's guys.
You must be getting toward the tail end of Autumn as we are heading into Summer. I hope I don't let another Summer pass by before my old girl hits the road!
Mine at night near Christmas time.....with a dirty windshield.

This one was taken looking into the windshield of my old F1 - not looking out, like it should have been. Took this Saturday on a Geocaching trip in Central Oregon. We hit 60-65 MPH on the Interstate on the way home - thankfully it was only for about 5 miles! - Bob
Hey Bob,
Your truck looks great! I like the stance - seems to be higher than most I see. I also like the fender
mounted turn lights - good to see old touches.
You also made me look up geocaching - that's a new one on me. You basically look
for stuff using GPS coordinates & a compass? (My wife would kill me if I asked her go
with me....though torturing me with fabric stores is ok).

Great truck, Bob! Is it a Marmon-Herrington? Can you shown us more pictures of it? How long have you had it?
Ben, Abe, and Wally: Thanks for the compliments on my pickup. That picture makes the rig look a lot better than it really is. There are more pictures of it in my album and the whole story with pictures is on HubGarage.com. Yes, I've spent my share of time in fabric stores too! I added the fender mounted turn signals not too long after getting the truck - a picture in my album shows it without them. It's a M-H LD7-4 conversion that was done in Portland, OR when the truck was new. I drug it home in 1973 for $75 and have since put about 60K miles on it. We use GPSr's for geocaching. You can get basic models for around $80-$90. It's a fun hobby and you can find the basics by visiting Geocaching.com. - Bob

I love your truck Bob, it's beautiful. I can't wait to get mine back on the road! Looking good !!!
Was that once an old rail bed that was paved over Ross?
I've been going on that road for 30+ years on the way to camping. I knew the road was there for logging, but I just found out while I was there this time (from a friend who just happened to be there too) that it was a narrow gauge rail line originally, to haul timber out of the valleys beyond. That explains why it's so narrow. By the late 50's it was converted to trucking. On summer weekends, it is VERY exciting to meet someone pulling a 34' trailer coming the opposite way!
