Traveller's Rest - Hot Springs, Montana

"We shall not cease from exploration,
 and the end of all our exploring will be
 to arrive where we started and
 know the place for the first time."

- T. S. Eliot (1888-1965)

(Brain-sparking quote from Eliot's bio at the above text link: "...The only "method," Eliot once wrote, is "to be very intelligent."  ")

"some trucks may never be more than a beat up old work truck. 
that doesn't mean that it still won't be your favourite."

Done Trucking, Missoula, Montana

Imagine the stories this old truck could tell from back when a two-digit phone number connected you to your rural Montana neighbors. The times, they are still a-changing; the state’s timber industry is vastly altered, and the roads this rig delivered lumber along are long since widened and paved. But Montana’s big sky is still covers the single 406 area code.

Long-Term Parking, Hamilton, Montana

If I had a buck for every time I drove past this old truck with an admiring glance, I'd be rich. 
(Sing with me in your best Tevye voice: "If I were a rich man!..." Go ahead - flail your arms! You shouldn't resist.) Well, maybe I'd be rich if I,d invested those bucks in a mutual fund boasting a reasonable 12% long-range return. (See how Dave Ramsey's class can colour even random thoughts? But it's a good thing.)
Anyway, this old truck graces the roadside yard of a local engine shop in Hamilton, Montana.
On a weekend when available time and clement weather collided, I finally stopped to take pictures. Item #137 checked off my list.

Rancher's Boneyard, Missoula, Montana

Old pick-up trucks never die..... any ideas to finish the sentence?

Working Days Are Over

After decades of wind & weather, it's amazing that this old truck is still hanging on to its last parking spot.  To see an amazing collection of old truck & car photos, take a jaunt to Memory Lane & stroll through John's collection.
