Wagons in vintage Street scenes

Speaking of Nomads, no on mentioned the '55 in the center of the picture in the link.

It sure had no business towing that heavy trailer behind it.

 

I'm pretty sure this one has been on here before, but just in case it hasn't...

Awesome.

 

Looks like they're assembling a grain elevator.

I did my AIT at Ft. Ord. One night during our week long bivouac we had to spend the night in foxholes along a ridgeline. I snuck over the hill to find that Laguna Seca racetrack was on the other side. I purloined a bale of straw and lined my foxhole with it. It was winter and it rained during the night. I rigged my poncho over my foxhole and slept as warm as a bug in a rug. The next morning everyone in the company was wet and miserable and couldn't figure out why I wasn't. Having grown up in the woods, I always had the habit of making a secure shelter if I had to spend the night. Lots of city boys didn't make it back from Viet Nam because they lacked the skills one acquires in the woods.
