Dorothea Lange’s Trip to Southeast Asia

Dorothea Lange is famous for her Depression era photo of a migrant mother. In the 1950s she traveled to Southeast Asia. Fortunately for us, she took some jeep photos while she was there and the Online Archives of California has preserved them.

Custer State Park, South Dakota, Jeep Tour
Looking for a unique way to see the Buffalo herds near Custer State Park (map)? You might look into a Jeep Tour. Here are pics showing a Wagoneer and a later model jeep built to hold a small group. Here are some links that might be helpful. It’s not clear to me if there is only one tour operator or multiple ones.

Heap of the Week article from Walla Walla

I stumbled upon a website that celebrates old articles from the town of Walla Walla, Washington, just forty-five minutes east of me. At some point the local newspaper ran a series of articles titled “Heap of the Week”. However, one week they changed the title to “Jeep of the Week”.
1946 Photo from Mount Cooldidge

This old photo from the South Dakota Department of Agriculture shows a CJ-2A with a 100 gallon tank mounted in the rear at or near Custer State Park. It appears there may be another tank across the cowl. Unfortunately, the photo isn’t very large.
