Just a picture

My sister in law has been scanning all their family slides together and putting them on disks. Ive only found a few pics with our style trucks. So far this is the best, most of the others have been really cut off or way in the background.

Lots of hunting pics. Her family was a serious bunch of hunters back in the day. Her father still goes once a year to Montana for his hunt. Im not a hunter so I have no idea whats going on in this pic.

Ill toss in anymore pics I come across later.

Re: Just a picture

Thank you for posting the picture, it is great. In fact I am going to use it on the desk top of my computer for a while.

It reminds of the good ole days when a truck was used as a truck. I use to pull a travel trailer up to Frenchman's Lake northwest of Reno with my '72 GMC to camp and trout fish.

That is sweet!
I'd be scared to drive a 2 wheel drive through that much snow... even without the trailer!

Re: Just a picture

Back in the day we used to hunt deer and elk up roads like that with 2 wheel drive trucks and snow tires. It is amazing how far you can go when you just don't know any better. We had dig out more than once...16 yr old knows no boundaries.
