Colorado about 1958

We camped here on Spring Creek every summer for a month. My sister, me, Mom, other sister, and Dad with our three tents. I still have the red bow saw and the Coleman stove. Wish I had the '56 Chevy. Dad taught us to love the outdoors. And read the Bible on Sunday mornings.

Speaking of '56 Chevys, a grade school and high school buddy has a nice one, pictured here at our 60th high school reunion in 2017. He's a Navy veteran, and served during the Vietnam war. Here we are standing together, mired in nostalgia for the '50s...

Peak..., There's some great stuff going on in those pics that makes me long for my youth.

Thanks for sharing them,

Here’s Larry Duval in the flying suit explaining the F-102 to the guy in Civvies.
I wonder does that guy know anything about Airplanes?

People that park that way deserved to be hit or scratched! How "all about me" can you be? Just park out at the very end. smh

My dad bought an exact duplicate of the one pictured here off the showroom floor in 1955. I had just turned 16, and got to pick the color, which I remember as "seafoam green." It was a straight six 210 with a ''3 on the tree" stick. I was delighted to use it occasionally for dates with my future wife and other girls at the time. I still love the wrap-around windshield; corner posts on modern cars continue to annoy me because they obscure vision when making a turn.

Wonder why his centerstand is down? Just a pose maybe? I thought it was from the CHiP's TV show, until I noticed the semi-auto handgun.

One morning last week, just as the sun was coming up, I spotted this guy. He was beside a fairly well traveled road, a good 60 feet up! Amazing! I only had a cellphone and not one of my real cameras. I stopped to admire him, took a few cell-pics, and moved on. Never did imagine he’d still be there the next day, but he was. So I then decided my fairy godmother must have put him up there for me, and I drove the 80-mile round trip home to get a real camera. Then I had to wake him up from his slumber, open your eyes Mr. bear! And he did. Nobody else saw him, as evidenced by the presence of no other tire tracks, or footprints in the sand, along either side of that road, except my own. Nobody notices much of anything these days. The first picture, of him just snoozing away, reminds me an awful lot of a lab in front of a wood stove.

Does a bear S....leep in the woods? Yup, high up in the woods! Wonder why such a large beast would be afraid to sleep on the ground? That does not look comfortable to me, but he/she seems to like it just fine.

Cool picture!

Hubby uses the center stand on his bike if he is wants to sit comfortably. The bike rocks right off it with a slight push.

I took the photo from my 2nd floor balcony. He was looking for approaching speeders, using radar.
