The photos below are what we saw.
There
was a very nice 1923 Ford Model T that had been converted into a
hot rod.
This
would look good in my driveway, but not for long. We would
need to add a garage to house it.
This was
a very nice bit of work.
A "kubelwagon"
from WWII.
There
were a large number of Halflingers at NWMF.
The
local Boy Scouts cooked the dinner; it was jambalaya and peach
cobbler in dutch ovens.
Where is
personal responsibility these days? Some friggin' lawyer
decided to put this "May be hot" sign on a GRIDDLE! It is
not very useful when it is not hot. Perhaps we should get
some "May be stupid" signs for members of the
legal community.
The cooking
team brought some major equipment.
The
scouts had a large number of large dutch ovens. One was
aluminum, but the cooks said it did not cook well and certainly
not like the cast iron ovens.
Jim and
Emily's Waldersee Farm had some great license plates.
In case
you were wondering what it takes to get a "number two hoe"
plaque, you have to place in the women's backhoe competition.
John and
Glori's VW "Thing".
A nice
712 Pinz camper.
Alan in
his 406 and two young bucks on a Rokon cycle.
Jim
Ince's nice 1300L DOKA camper.
NWMF has
a "pit" where the 4x4 vehicles can play. The trucks
assembled for a group photo. The photographer is on the
right, on the ladder. I elected to solve that problem with
my quadcopter.
There
were plenty of Haflingers and G-wagons. Note Mike and
Denice sitting on his jeep at the left of the photo above.
Some
guys went in the bucket of the CEE tractor.
This is
an ex-USMC CEE tractor that is based on the 406 platform.
It has a loader and a backhoe that folds up to make it plane
transportable.
This is
a "swim-wagon" (though the actual name is in German). It
is a VW that is amphibious. Note the propeller on the
back. When the prop is lowered, it engages the hub on the
rear of the vehicle.
This
might be good for crossing a calm river, but useless in the
surf.
There
were several nice Land Rovers and some were diesel.
There
were two folks with quadcopters. Mine is in the rear, the
foreground is a DJI Flame 450 kit with a home-built gimbal.
In
addition to the assembled masses, the photo above shows
the heavily wooded hills around Sheridan Peak.
The
photographer is visible on the ladder on the light tower.
The "pit" is visible in the center.
