A blast from the past

[frieed]

I was moving my scans to my new PC today and ran across this. It is my dad hunting with friends in the Bighorn mountains of Wyoming in the winter of 65-66 or maybe winter 66-67. I remember him telling me that even with chains, they had to winch in and out. (Dad is taking the picture, so not included)

Pure awesome.

OK, I'll add a couple more from the same time period





and just for fun, the blizzard of 1973 in Sheridan




For you camera buffs holding some old slides, the top two are Kodachrome, the bottom two are Ectachrome. If you are holding Ectachrome, better get them scanned soon.

I notice that the tires all seem to be pretty skinny (from other photos as well) and wonder if the current fat-tire state is for fashion or function.
The expedition web sites tend to favor tall and skinny.

That is cool, I should dig up my dads old hunting photos

I'll add this.

I have a slide scanner if anyone would like to use it...

The old Suburban is awesome!

Since you like the Suburban,




and yes, that's me, circa 1965

After that storm (73), I remember walking over a drift and tripping, it was the clothes line, and stepping over a gap and onto the top of the garage..
