He and another co-worker headed off to Colorado one year and got permits to hunt on a Ute reservation up in the mountains of the southern part of the state to chase mule deer. After negotiating what seemed like ancient wagon road full of rocks and washouts they made it to the top of a pass only to find a stock Volvo 240 station wagon. Better road on the other side of the pass.
My brother has a 1970s VW Westfallia he has had since 1980. He paid $500 for it. I will raise the camber up, and put on larger mud tires, and have snow chains to use if it gets really muddy. He parked at one hunting place and set up camp, and slept nice and cozy with the heater running, and made a breakfast ham steak. He opened the door to see another hunter in his group that drove in in old jacked up high 4x4 and he had slept in the back under plastic tarp. The guy came over and asked if he could come warm up in my brothers camper, so he was invited in.

They became good biddies and years later the guy admitted after arriving in camp he was happy he had the tough 4x4 and was crestfallen to see a VW camper already in place and someone warm and eating ham steaks for breakfast after he had only jerky and coffee.



One million in $20s.








The first photograph in history in which the Human appears in front of the camera
This photograph is the first image in which a person appears in front of the camera, and it is also the first image of the city of Paris. The camera used needed about 10 minutes to collect the light and the scene, and the street was full of people, but they were moving while photographing, so they did not appear in the picture except for one person who stopped for minutes To shine his shoes, history immortalized him, his and someone else was working shoe cleaner , and that was in the year 1839


For the people in the city who don't know how calves are born, here's a cow’s nest.
