Some old family Mopar pics - 09/14/20 10:17 PM

Finally got back to scanning some of my dad's slides and looking at some other pics. The '61 Plymouth wagon belonged to my mom's mom and her husband (I knew him as my grandfather, but we weren't blood relatives), the '56 Plymouth was my parent's car (with my brother walking behind it), and the '56 New Yorker was my dad's mom's car (with my mom, me, and my brother). The cabin in the pic with the '61 burned to the ground this week at Lake Madrone in northern California.

That's actually a '62 Plymouth wagon, Jim. Cool photos, though.
Damn shame about the cabin burning down.

Yeah, the cabin hasn't been in the family since 1972, but still a shame. Nearly that whole side of the little lake was burned. We've got so much smoke and ash in the air here today...

Cool pics!

One of these days I need to get the pics my Mom has of me as a kid sitting on my Dad's '63 Chrysler.

Get 'em sooner than later. I need to copy all of my scanned pics and video along with all other digital content off onto an external hard drive and store it at my son's house. 2TB is no longer really enough...

I've seen some pics and video. There's a Facebook page for Lake Madrone that has a video (video is actually on YouTube) from a trail cam of the fire coming through. Lots of devastation up and down the state.
