Score!

We're in a small community campground near Scappoose, OR, same place we stayed 2 summers back.  It's got full hookups for a good price and we reserved well in advance so we have the premier site, with no other rigs beyond us on one side.  You step out the front door and you've got privacy, trees and grass.


Vintage 1928 with wooden prop and bike wheels.

This is a 1957 Chevy.  Trish knows the model years of many of the 50s era classics.
I do well to pick the correct decade.


I thought that this cute little thing was either a Crosley or a Henry J.
Trish says it's a Nash Metropolitan.  She's right; I'm wrong.

An event we were unaware of until arriving took place at the regional airport adjacent to us over the weekend: an antique airplane fly-in/classic car show/model railroad show with a few military and fire/police rigs thrown in for good measure.  It wasn't a humongously large collection of goodies but there was some really neat stuff, as the pictures indicate.


This is a lightweight but well-armed military rig.  It would be great for some urban applications and maybe chasing terrorists in the dessert.  Wouldn't want to get into a pissing match with a tank, though.  It's wide open and unarmored.

This had no sign that provided the age.  Sleek little puppy.


This pair isn't very old, built in the 80s and 90s.  They have identical paint jobs, are likely one of the pairs we saw flying in formation, lead and wing man.

  1. What an added bonus to your Scappoose experience. Here I live, just down the road, and I didn't know all this was going on out there--trains, planes, and automobiles! [ I did get to the Steinfeldt's Pickle Festival there once, though. Good times.]

    How did Trish get so smart about old cars?
