If it wasn't for a little bit of silver that occured here, that road would be straight. Mammoth's going to blow sky high one of these days and the ash will settle on Tonopah.MattCarey said:By the way,
I checked Google Maos for Tonopah. It litterally came up as a bend in the road!
Looks like you are east of Mammoth lakes? That is one of my all-time favorite places in the world.

Thank you. I used a large lens cap. Filters were mounted in a 62-67 stepping ring and just rested around the barrels (until the wind blows them off of course.)andrewfrith said:great story and nice shots jim..were u just using a hat shutter or a packard or something? what were u using to get the red filter and the polarizer attached to these lenses?

jimgalli said:The '39 Ford Pickup is a whole as they say "'nother story." It was mine when my 3 girls were small. I sold it in 1989 when they were 6, 8, and 9 years old. It's the "one that got away" and I've always been sorry I sold it. Well my girls have grown and married in the mean time and also provided me with 3 grandsons so far. Well those grandson's will be 11 12 13 years old soon enough and they'll need a '39 Ford pickup to go driving in now won't they? It's an original unrestored truck and will see plenty of service on desert dirt roads. Plus.......it's photogenic.

Gee Jim, it sure would look nice next to the wifes 38 Buick Special Business Coupe..it's just not at the house right now. She has a guy looking at it to do restoration on it...but what a grand old car. Even has a clock and radio in it.jimgalli said:The '39 Ford Pickup is a whole as they say "'nother story."
