OK, I just couldn’t resist. Besides which, I still haven’t gotten out.

So, decided to add an Avatar.

Quality stinks.

But I guess that’s OK.

Am open to guesses on where, when, and what’s that.

 

[jbpmidas]

I'm guessing 70's. Somewhere up North or out west. Can't see the guns well enough.

 

[SubGunFan]

You standing next to a Ford F-100 in 1960.

Where.............. Looks like on a beach............

Did I win....? What did I win....?

[jbpmidas]

The pic needs to be bigger! I didn't see the beach at all!

Close but no cigar.

OK, I’ll give it away....

Circa 1967, high desert north of Casper WY (where I was living) probably early fall on an antelope hunt. Have hunted antelope in shirt sleeve weather (as shown) and in snow up to my knees. Never knew at that time of year.

Vehicle is a 1964(?) 4WD (four on the floor with a hi-lo shifter) Chevy Suburban Carryall. Spotlight on top was (in part) for running jackrabbits at night on the high desert.

Rifles: 30-338 Win Mag and 7mm Rem Mag both built for us by E A Craven in Bend OR.

I got the location correct, to the general area of the country! At least I didn't call it the beach!!!!! :128:

 

[Ed Hunter]

OK

I've tried to put in a little better print for the Avatar. Let's see if this is any better.

Consider that this was originally a 35mm slide from which a print was made 40+ years ago. That print is aging. What you see is a scan of that aging print.

 

[SubGunFan]

Well....... at least I hit the decade.....

Wyoming has beaches........ just no oceans...... yet.

I was thinking Chevy, but Ford F-100 sounded better...........

Nice "old" picture of your history Ed Hunter.

’66 & ’69, out from Casper WY -- Remember the picture of your Mom taking a deer with a 7mm out there!!

 

[Xd357]

I wasn't even a twinkle yet.

 

[miker84]

Where's the truck today?

 

[Mrs. Hammer]

I wasn't even a twinkle yet.

Me either. My parents were only 8-12 years old then.

 

[miker84]

1967---I wasn't even a gleam in my father's bloodshot eye. :lol4:

Thanks for the nudge.

I just couldn't resist re-posting the picture. I've still got the head of that antelope she shot up on my wall.

Where's the truck today?

traded in on a Fiat Spyder

Hey, I had one of those - in emerald green, 1970 - fun little ride.

I had pegged the year at 67, I knew the Chevy was several years earlier. If the year was much earlier than 67 it would have been black and white.
I had guessed somewhere in the Nevada desert. but I wasn't sure do to the lack of vegatation in the flats.
The long sleves suggest mid to late fall which would make it between 5:45 to 6:30 pm based on the shadows.
Can't see the guns well enough but the camo gun looks like a pump shotgun and the other looks like a lever action. Can't tell much more than that.
