My internet problems seem to have been solved, so I will probably link to an easier to view version for the next pages. Until then, the only way to go to a large image is by clicking on the small version, then using the back button on your browser.
Jon I 'm old and I figured it out . No problem and happy you are going to the trouble for us . Thankyou . Pat

Thanks for posting the pictures. I love looking at those vintage trailers. I think one would look great behind Larry’s 1956 Chevy pickup.

Does anyone know whether they will be allowing people other than attendees on the grounds to visit ?

I think Ian posted that non campers could visit on Saturday and the cost was $10 per person. That’s what I seem to remember . You might check over on Fiberglass RV

Or open each full image in a new window (right-click in typical Windows web browsers, various methods in other environments), close the new window when done looking at it or click the index page's tab, and never need to hit "back" or reload the index page. This isn't necessarily easier, it's just an alternative.

Whatever the method, the photos are worth the clicks.

When you see this photo of Jon’s it is clear the original small classic Escapes were based off the Surf Side TM-14 as others have reported in the past.

I don't believe I've ever seen a boler in person, a bit too far away.

Wishing I was there.

There goes the neighborhood

I arrived late on Wednesday after a detour to Minnesota's Northwest Angle. This entailed a 60+ mile trip on gravel roads, and the resulting dust. Ugh!

After finally reaching someone at Verizon that actually understood my plan, I was able to upload the rest of yesterday's photos. There is a link to Thursday's photos at Boler 50th.

To keep Glenn (gbaglo) and others happy, I used Lightroom's web page generator. It produces bloated files but does allow scrolling between the large images. Sorry about the watermark - I usually remove it but forgot. I'll add more as the rally progresses, assuming that Verizon lets me!

I consider it a badge of honor after the detour to the Angle. I'll wash it at the first opportunity when I leave the rally.


Meanwhile, here are a few photos of the Angle. It's only reachable overland by going into Canada first. I had to call in when I crossed back into the U.S. at the Angle then call again when I was leaving to cross back into Canada. In the spirit of international cooperation, both governments use the same phone. You just push a button for "United States" or "Canada".

If there was a prize for the dustiest trailer, pretty sure Mike would win. But making it here is the main thing.

Just asked a friendly fellow in the rest stop parking lot to take our photo, and he gladly obliged.

Oh gosh Jon , one could never be unhappy with your wonderful photos no matter whether one clicks back and forth . Not being very techy I often miss things. Thank you so much for all you share .
