Old photos

I wish i'd had the presence of mind to find a couple cars with aluminum slot mags and air shocks and pose them on the road with a few guys that look like a Greatful Dead tribute band.

Good idea. I'll see what I can do.

Well, I went by there today and took a couple of photos with my truck. It was great to smell the sagebrush again. It brought the memories back.







There's a hayfield now where it was just sagebrush before, but otherwise unchanged.
The air is full of smoke from fires in Oregon.

Sure that isn't burnout smoke still lingering? You really have the perfect angle on that first shot. The second shot looks like the photographer was further down the road and zooming in. I kind of assumed the crack in the road was the starting line area.

I think the roads been repaved a few times since then. And I didn't have any photos with me either. I just went for an aimless drive, and ended up going by there.
Next time I'll take my camera with a 200 mm lens to try to duplicate the shots. The guy with the El Camino still has it and maybe I can entice him to pose again.

Now that would be cool. If he doesn't have hair anymore maybe find a shaggy wig and some plaid bellbottoms.
