Getting ready to load the 1948 Lefty - Raining here in Cincinnati
Killing me. Just fitted the trail jeeps summer top on the restored jeep. I feel the wife points leaving the building. We will be on the road around 5:30 PM this evening. |

All things considered the first day was pretty good. Would like to say Saturday will be better weather but we will just wait and see. I’m not too sure that it matters to these guys anyway cause they are going to be there and when the sub comes out so do they. There are lots of parts available from guys that have driven in from Louisiana to South Carolina, Florida, Virginia...
Enjoyed the static displays and took several pics, not sure I should try to post all 32 here but will put up a few and give you a link to the rest, enjoy! https://bensimage.smugmug.com/Willy/25th-Midwest-Willys-Reunion/       Edited by BENSH - 20 May 2017 at 10:59am |

And of course Bam Bam is parked on it. That's not red dirt on there. Must have been a little muddy down at your Dad's place. Covered up all be Moab that was on there. Thanks for the vid and pics guys. |

Thanks for sharing with us, I am sure a lot like myself would like to be there. For myself health got in the way and this old body doesn't want to cooperate sometimes. Sure am enjoying the pics though.

At least none of them have a beer in hand.
Years ago I was called a Jerry Garcia clone. Perhaps I was a bit taller and heavier. I probably look like he would look like now. I can't tell if it is dog hair or mine I pick off of my clothes. Have fun fellers and thanks for the pictures. |
