A Wrinkle in Time Part 2

Some of you may remember a thread I had in the Picture Show Case called a Wrinkle in Time. It was pics of my Family and our Jeeping history. Well that thread is gone so I decided to start another one here where it won't get erased. I have 90 pics and I have decided to post ten pics a week for nine weeks. I hope you all enjoy.

These are in no paticular order and lots of them I have no idea where they came from or where they were taken.

Like this one. I am gussing it is in the Book Cliff Mtns in Eastern Utah. Probably on a deer hunt trip.


My Dads old Willeys Waggon on a narrow spot of the trail Elephant Hill.


Not sure exactly where this is other then it is in CanyonLands. My father was a part of the Davis Co Jeep possie which was a pre-curser to Search and Rescue.


This one jumps ahead a few years to the 70s. You can tell by all my hippy brothers.


This one looks like another from the same trip.


Going back a few years again...those kids are the same kids in the previous two but younger. This is in the town of Uinta Ut, where my family was at the time.


This is on the road to Alice Lake in Wyoming. Unfortunatly this is a road that the Environmentalists got ahold of and is no longer open to travel.


Same trail


Don't have a clue about this one...Other then the CJ is my uncles old jeep.


My Mom in the late 60s. This is how they camped back then. Funny to think they have a 35 foot motorhome with all the bells and whistles now.


Ok...thats the ten for this week. Next week I will put up the next ten.

Enjoy!

Lookin good back in the 70s

sweet...look forward to seing the rest again

Keep those pictures safe. They're priceless.

My folks kept all of their photos and slides in the top of a closet on the first floor of their house. The slides were all organized into those Bell & Howell cubes, but the photos were loose in boxes. In '92 my Mom decided they needed to put the photos in albumbs and she put the albumbs on the lower shelf of a side table in the livingroom. Well, no flood had ever put water on the first floor of that house since it was built in 1930, but at the height of the flood in '93 a storm surged the Missouri flood waters surrounding the house up as high as the kitchen counter. By the time they could get back into the house not one of those photos was salvageable. Fortunately, some of the negatives, and all of the slides, were still in the top of the closet.

Its kind of funny because that is what started this project. My parents like yours had all of their slides in boxes. Although we are not in a flood area fires do happen now and then. My brother got all the slides and scanned them to his computer. We have them backed up on several computer hard drives plus they are burnt to DVD-Roms too.

i love these threads

I figured they were safe, but I wanted to tell my story, anyway :laugh3: As an aside: My folks also lost all their VHS home movies. A lot of it they had sent around as copies, so my sibs and I put out a call and got everybody to send us copies of their copies. From that we put together a video collage of everything they had sent out over the years. Of course, it was copies of copies of copies and not the best quality, but it did make a nice anniversary gift.

I can't tell you how cool that is. It really reminds me of my childhood, and the wheeling and camping trips we took in our old '65 LandCruiser FJ45 wagon, which bears a striking resemblance to the old Willys Wagon in your pics. Anyway, VERY cool post. Thanks for sharing, and jarring some great old memories loose.



The vehicle of my childhood off-road experiences (ours was two-tone white and mustard)
