A lovely drive on a Spring day in my '36
 

Beautiful warm, sunny day; drove about 75 miles in my '36 pickup-what could be better? In the Marin headlands overlooking the Pacific and SF Bay(my "backyard"), and up Mt. Tamalpais.
1st photo is the coast south of SF, 2nd and 3rd in the headlands, 4th overlooking the Pacific/Bolinas lagoon, last a view of SF in the distance

What's that green stuff next to the road? Beautiful ocean view.

Great shot of the 1936 Ford Pick-Up with the Pacific Ocean in the back ground.
Thanks for sharing.

Man, I sure do like that truck, Adam! I'm squinting really, really hard and.....I think I can just barely see Russia, right over that hood! DD

I think you're really seeing that tanker stuck in the Suez Canal . . .

Re: A lovely drive on a Spring day in my '36
 

Glad folks like the pics-it's not the Alps or the Rockies but it has its own charm. On a clear day you may not see Russia, or the Suez tanker, but you can see the Farallon Islands wildlife preserve 32 miles away. It's a scratched up old truck but drives great and lots of fun-always gets many honks and thumbs up.The rear crossmember repair I mentioned in the past has been perfect.

And some folks think California is just a bunch of freeways! Beautiful truck AND Scenery!!!!!

Re: A lovely drive on a Spring day in my '36
 

Very nice pictures and nice looking '36 :)

Curious, in the very 1st picture, what is that object at about 11 o'clock ?

Looks like the pacific 101 highway. Great pictures! thanks.

GB, it doesn't have a patch on your area (San Juan Islands)-my older son lives in Bellingham, I love the ferry rides up around there.
Lanny, it's a Trico vacuum powered fan-turn towards your face for summer, towards the windshield for (minimal) defrost in the winter-no regular defroster set up in these old trucks
Tinker-close; photos were on Rdigecrest Blvd on Mt Tamalpais, just off California Route 1 (the Coast Highway). I live basically right on Route 1, just over the Golden Gate Bridge from SF

hi Adam, yes, I've had a few old vehicles back in the day with the fan like that.

I'm talking about the little blurry object, at about 11 o'clock high. Looks like Sputnik.

Yesterday was the first day in months that the Temperature reached high 60s, so guess which one got the call-out.

Re: A lovely drive on a Spring day in my '36
 

Adam, looking good:):)

Re: A lovely drive on a Spring day in my '36
 

That's either a UFO or a booger on the windshield.:D

Re: A lovely drive on a Spring day in my '36
 

Just a chip in the glass-not in my direct line of sight so not worth replacing the windshield-I should have read the question more closely; the fan is at 7 o'clock, not 11

Re: A lovely drive on a Spring day in my '36
 

Thanks for clearing that up Adam. That's what I thought it might be,
But with all the sightings these days, ya never know ;)...thanks again :)
