Polaroid from one of my folks albums...circa 1964, Death Valley NP.

This was taken before they were married...and was my dad's idea of a "car date."

We were definitely a Coleman family...even before we were a family.

Ran across this old pic of my families road trip to the Grand Canyon.. 29-30 years ago or so... That's me in the front seat and my Dad on the cooler.. which he still has.

I think that is the badlands...

Ah, I see... that's when you shaved regularly for school.

Ok I'll pull maps and get it started. I know the first camp just south of havasu to start from. Then its Alamo valley east

This was done with pretty fast vehicles so it might take a couple days

We will need to make it across the big sandy and that might be interesting in heavy rigs.

The Jeep is a '78. The picture is in Sherwood right after I bought it in '89 as a Junior in high school. The Manx clone was around '91 or '92.

At first glance, that sounds like something from the WAY BACK machine,...then I think what I was doing then and it doesn't seem like that long ago. I thought getting old would take longer.

The pics of the jeep stuck in the snow is the sort of thing I used to do fairly regularly. I started digging the snow from under the frame and wheels of my Willys PU once, I stopped when I was about 3 feet below the tire and it was still snow. All I had for a shovel was one of the old folding army shovels. I put it all back and made a sort of platform of 1x6-6' boards id found at a camp spot. I made about 6' of progress at a time driving out to solid ground replacing boards under the tires. I think it was about a 6 hour project to get out that time.

Great pictures everyone!
