A slice of Midwestern life

[DarkSkies]

Trains are a big part of Midwestern life. They transport goods of all kinds across the country. Living with the train crossings must take a lot of patience.

1973 Cougar








I had one of these right after high school, back in the days when summertime living was easy, and so were the girls. That one looks like a convertible, I had a hardtop. Mine was dark cobalt blue, it had balls plus it was a nice cruiser to be seen in. Your pics bring back some memories of the rides me and my friends used to have. Thanks Dark.

When I was growing up, my friend had a Camaro RS, only it was a sleeper, a rat car. The only good thing about it was the motor, everything else was falling apart, and the car was in 2 colors of primer. He put about 2 grand into the motor, a worked 400, dual quad carb, Dana rear, the front end would lurch into the air in first gear.

The coolest thing was pulling up to a dude in Daddy's beemer or volvo, and giving the guy the finger and leaving him in the oil smoke behind. I love cars from that era, thanks for the cool pics.

Great pictures Dark. One day I'll have to take the family to the mid-west.

I thought it would be boring, but there aren't a lot of things to do out there, you either adapt, or die.

The interesting part is how modern farms are so much more effiecient, which is a no-brainer but also how the effiency changed for the better, and the worse, over the years. It was also cool that they had some cool old antique farming equipment, schoolrooms, and the highlight of the trip, pigs in the mid!

(videos to come if I ever get them downloaded to vimeo)





More pics to come when I get a chance
