I just got back from a trip to Grand Teton National Park. I will post a ride report with more photos later, this evening.

I am sure that he crawled into that little chair in the "gravel box" we don't use sand. He was there and I guess it look like fun the cover him. He stayed there for about 20 minutes.

It's amazing what cats will tolerate from people they love and trust. I'm sure Buford enjoyed the cool gravel on a hot day. That photograph is priceless.

How many of us are old enough to remember these? I know I am because my Dad built them.


1972 Javelin SST.

In over 30 years, he built them, knocked them down for export, destroyed them at the AMC Proving Grounds, was the Chief Foreman, Chief Stewart, and an engineer.

Beautiful car. I'd take a Rebel over a Javelin, but it's still really sharp.

Almost concur. My choice would be a 1967 Ambassador DPL 2 door hardtop. Had one through highschool. 'course a 401 Javelin with a 4 speed and 3.90 axle would cause me to look away. Dad had a 71 Ambassador wagon with a 401. I buried the speedo several times. I'm sure Dad did, too.

Spud-I am sure I stood on that very spot in 1976 and 77.

I bet you did, Cheesy. That is perhaps the nicest overlook in the entire park.
