<– Day 1 – March 20th: Dinner and Salt | OVERVIEW | Day 3 – Mar. 22nd: Old Bones and Old Jeeps –>

2014-03-21-vernal-dinosaur-easter

The Easter-o-saurus greeted us at Vernal, Utah.

After our long drive on Thursday, we intentionally had an easy day drive of a few hours, a quick trip from Salt Lake City to Vernal, Utah.

2014-03-21-vernal

Day 2 of our trip.

We started off the day with some bagels at the Einsteins on 13th East with Karson. After we were done eating, we posed for a photo together, which further demonstrates that either he is growing or I am shrinking. Must be the water in Salt Lake or something . . .

2014-03-21-slc-karson-dad

It kind of looks like the guy on the horse in the photo is measure just how tall Karson is!

We were just about to leave Salt Lake when Ann and I spotted Caputos, a well known deli that now has a small store next to Einsteins. They know their stuff at Caputos and know a couple suckers when they see them. We walked out a little poorer, but with some really good goat cheese and some locally made chocolate.

On this day in March 1948

On March 22, 1948, The Federal Trade Commission ordered Willys-Overland Motors, Inc. to stop advertising that it had created or designed the “jeep.” Said FTC: although Willys-Overland “made an outstanding contribution in its powerful engine as well as in other features of the vehicle,” the credit belonged jointly to four companies—Willys-Overland, American Bantam Car Co., Ford Motor Co., Spicer Manufacturing Co. (now Dana Corp.)—and the Army.

Photo of Wagon Raising Money for Polish Relief

March 22, 2014 • CATEGORIES: Features, Old Images, Willys Wagons This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was on eBay.

“This is an old black & white photograph of a Jeep station wagon advertising American Relief for Poland. The car has a message board on the roof which reads: “Poland Needs Your Help Help the Children of Poland Tag Day Sept. 13th and 14th”. The car also says: “6000 Dubois MAdison 1644”. The latter is an old-style telephone number (this style was phased out in the 1950’s), and the former is likely an address. American Relief for Poland was formed in 1929 and was active at least through the 1950’s. The Jeep station wagon was introduced in 1946. I can’t see much of the clothing of the people in the background, but what I can see seems to look more like 1940’s or 1950’s clothes than later. A “tag day” is a day on which contributions for a charitable cause are solicited; the donors are given a tag in return. The photo is in good condition apart from some curl to it. It measures almost 7 inches long by 5 inches tall. I got this near Cleveland, Ohio, and I don’t have any other information about it; there is no identification on the back.”

It has a ford 302 and a 3 speed Dana 44 in the rear and a Dana 25 up front with a spring over lift. It needs the front driveline extended and a rear brake line. It’s a small project and still needs a throttle cable and the clutch linkage hooked back up and a new fan. It runs great I have never drove it so I can’t say how it drives. It has a very rare removable hard top. I’m sure I’m forgetting some stuff it has a lot of new parts on it. $2500 obo will trade for a 250cc dirt bike. Thanks”

“Adult owned. Very complete and every day drive-able old jeep high hood. Original engine and running gear has 12-volt system with new alternator and battery. This jeep will take you everywhere you want to go and places you do not want to go, best part about it is, the thing will bring you back every time too. Have never had a problem with it, very mechanically sound. Perfect for the hunting cabin or ready to restore. Does have some non-factory additions but which one doesn’t? Has typical old jeep rust but everything is still solid, stored under cover all year. Any maintenance that it has needed has been done very well cared for. Everything works twin stick t-case, all electrical, no bad noises, can drive any time I want to. Have run out of time to play with it business calls too much, would rather see it get used by someone who appreciates these things. Clean Idaho title in hand!! No Trades cash only “dog not included!” give me a call we will talk about it no e-mails.”

Day 1 – March 20th: Dinner and Salt

<– OVERVIEW | Day 2 – March 21st: From Salt Lake City To Vernal –>

2014-03-20-westminster-salt5

We left Pasco, Washington, at 5amish yesterday, which means we’d planned to leave at 5am, but due to last minute scrambling, our departure didn’t actually occur until 5:30am. After nine hours of driving, we arrived in Salt Lake City in time to celebrate with the kids.

2014-03-20-pasco-slc-map

Today we drove from Pasco, Washington, to Salt Lake City, Utah.

Karson, Kasia and Colter joined us at the Old Spaghetti Factory for some pasta. It was Kasia’s choice, due both to her upcoming 18th birthday and because we found out yesterday she’s been accepted to the University of Utah. However, she won’t be attending the U this fall, but will postpone it until the fall of 2015 so she can spend the next school year participating in a mentorship program in Los Angeles.

Colter has another two years at East High School. I think he hopes that without his brother and sister at school, he will no longer be known as Kasia or Karson’s little brother. Instead, people will actually know him by his own name.

2014-03-20-kids-oldspaghetti-factory2-loresYou may remember our trip from last summer when we ran into Karson twice during his participation in the Americorps/FEMA program. In November he successfully ‘graduated’ from the program with lots of experiences, stories and scholarship money. So, he decided to go to Westminster University starting this winter. He seems to be enjoying it immensely.
