Mike, ya crack me up! Side story: I was born at Balboa Naval Hospital in San Diego. The San Diego Zoo is right across the street. My Mom used to tell me that I was exchanged for a monkey when I was little and acting up. I thought it was cool that I was really living in a zoo. I was a cross between Leave it to Beaver and Huck Finn when I was a kid

Good idea for a thread. Later this week I`ll hook up the scanner again and post a couple real ones.
I was Huck Finn all the way

Here's one taken a few years back. Check out the sled in those days. We slept on the roof and used all inside space for living and storing the catch before market. 2 wheel drive and rarely had to dig out. Those were the days!

Hello Karl - that is actually a photo of my Dad - he was a sweetwater fisherman and we had to drag him out, but once out he couldn't put the rod down. Great memories - he died in 74.

Cool

Back in the day 4wd was for wussies. My early P-town days, it was a matter of pride not to put it in 4wd and not get stuck. If ya did either, you didn't know how to drive the beach. Mike. how's you and Karin doing?
