Recent Camping Trips

With all the great weather, we’ve managed to sneak in a few camping trips. We were really roughing it in Ann’s mother’s new motorhome. Yes, we left her mother behind so we could enjoy some quite time.

Early last week we made the two hour drive to the Ohanapecosh Campground at Mt. Rainier. Here are some photos from that trip.

A couple days ago we drove from Pasco to Red Bridge Wayside State Park. Red Bridge is one of five northeast Oregon state wayside parks that are well kept and inexpensive places to stay. Of the twenty spots available, only three were taken. So we had a very quiet stay. However, somehow we didn’t get any photos of the campground.

We did find a horseshoe pit, but lacking horseshoes we turned to frisbees.

CJ-2A Accident Photo on eBay

• CATEGORIES: Features, Old Images This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Steve spotted this odd photo. My question is, did the jeep back into the wall and then get lifted up? Or did it somehow hit it from the outside?

“This lot is for two 5″x7″ black and white original photos of a Willys Jeep somehow attached to a barn door…not sure if this is intentional or by accident. Appears to be a 1957 Ford in the background. See photos for condition. Please be sure to view my other listings as well! Thank you for looking.”
