Old Trucks

While wandering around Sauvie Island in the Portland, Oregon area yesterday I ran across these two vintage farm trucks. They appear to have ceased their mobile usefulness and now serve as a colorful entry monument to this farm. I'll bet these two could tell many stories from their past decades of use!

This third truck was parked at the other entry to this farm...

...and the front fence had old farm implements all along the road planted like this...

Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum

Last month I found myself in McMinnville, Oregon with a couple hours of free time so I decided to visit the Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum, home of the Spruce Goose. This is a fabulous facility with three main buildings at this time, one for the Spruce Goose and the Aviation and Firearms collections, one for the Space collection and an IMAX  theater in the third building. The property also has various planes and armored vehicles scattered around including a 747 that will sit on top of the new building that will house a water park. Grape vineyards surround the back side of this complex and you can buy grape juice from the grapes in their gift shops.

Next time I'm in Oregon and have spare time I'll be going back to explore this place more, for now you can see what I saw here, enjoy!
