Hmmmmm, where are all the rusty, channeled to the ground "authentic" rods?

Those were back East. We couldn't afford paint and fancy stuff like you richies on the West Coast.

(Somebody has been hanging around a certain traditional forum a little too much, Me thinks. )

It was almost entirely alfalfa fields then.

Rrum......Randy hits most of the events down there, takes tons of pictures (knock around his Fotki site if you wish, there are many, many albums posted). You'll find him at the Cars & Coffee deal most Saturday mornings down on Eastern.

Uncle Bob,
Thanks for the link. I would love to have been there but I was two years yet to be born.

That's why most of us guys in the Midwest didn't pay any attention to what was happening on the East coast.
