How we found it up in Gold Hill.
Please notice that it is a convertible with no top!!! Jim drove it down Lick Skillet to Boulder for gas, Tim drove it up 36 to the Left Hand station, and Roger drove it up to Jamestown.
All of this was in cold, rain, and snow!!!
What FUN!!!
Now it's your turn...
Chris(?) The Gold Hill Chief explaining to us what the little wrench is for and why we better not lose it.
Can you guess why?
This NOT your every day cockpit! Notice no roof, you get wet a lot of ways, ask us!
Nor this one!
The business end of the pumping stuff.
Chris showing us how the priming system works.
You pump that handle till you are blue in the face and breathing hard. If you're lucky some water will start overflowing and you can turn engage the pump to fill the tank.
Jim giving it a go. We found out after we sweated for a while that the line was frozen...
The control panel for the pump engine: a 1968 Ford Econoline 6 cylinder engine!
Jim getting some driving instructions.
What do you think of this?
Wonder if I can get up in this thing?
Lookin' Cool!
All clear back there?
Gold Hill Fire Station. It houses three really nice trucks nowadays.
Do I really want to do this?
Oh well, it's a convertible anyway!
Here we go, past theGold Hill school and down Lick Skillet!!
Made it to Boulder for gas and it took a quart of nature's finest.
Off we go back to Jamestown. Tim drove from here to the Left Hand Station.
I got it to Jamestown and backed it into its new home. Not really, Jim backed it into the barn!
but trust me, he was having fun too!!!
