Woo Hoo!!!
Great time at the truck show on a temperate day within sight of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains! Presidential Award to Alec forthcoming for his efforts! We were received like rock stars and our gathering of Stovebolts drew a good share of attention.
Grigg displayed his exceptionally crafted tandem ice cream maker which drew a lions share of attention and kept Grigg busy with explanations the entire afternoon. Tim Welsh brought his 1947 Jeep with its stout 146 cubic inch power plant and its desirable and rare overdrive transmission. I was busy encouraging people to have a seat in my truck to "...get the feel of the oversized steering wheel", (needed for non-power steering leverage), the sight lines of driving an old truck and of course the smells of an old vehicle.
I'd like to assure you all gentle readers that we represented the old truck hobby the best of our abilities to a man.
The Shifflett boys representing the esteemed ATHS SHENANDOAH CHAPTER were actively stumping for The 50th Annual ATHS NATIONAL MEET, in the year of our Lord, 2021, to be held at the Rockingham County Fairgrounds in Harrisonburg, VA. IMHO, they present a strong case as it is a very nice venue with many side trip historical and recreational destinations for out of town guests.
Sweet and I ventured over the Blue Ridge Mountains, destination Devil's Backbone Brewery via route 56, a combination of switch backs and hair pin turns not recommended for the faint of heart. What a great ride to share with a great friend.
