He is alive and was outside waiting for us. He is 98.5 (yes we now need to use decimals). We even had Congressman Doug LaMalfa with us. Parade was off Maidu Rd in Auburn. Unseen behind us over the crest of the hill were around 10-15 civilian cars. The guy with the halftrack is a fellow OWF member.Bud Anderson is still alive??
Where was the parade?
Rubber tracks. I don't believe they used anything else on these. They are good for at most 2,500 miles. They can cruise at 45 mph and are street legal, but at something like 17,000 lbs you are grabbing gears on even the smallest of hills.He must be one of the relatively few WWII vets left alive. All the ones I knew are gone.
Was the halftrack on rubber tracks? Otherwise I would imagine steel tracks would have torn up that asphalt.

I see in your sig that you have an M38A1. Is it still original?
Delivered a replacement paddle for a lost one on the river.View attachment 76893then went for a little ride waiting to pick them up.View attachment 76894View attachment 76895View attachment 76896And I guess you can find a willys admirer just about anywhere.

Great shots!
That is awesome.Not much of a drive, but the local Church is opened back up for their Monday Community Lunch. It's been back on for 3 weeks, but today was the first time there was enough people to have to double park.View attachment 76932
That’s a great shot. The Willys/population ratio looks like it’s very high in Sawyers Bar.Ran into friends along Salmon river road today.View attachment 76948
You know the Willy's/population ratio as you put it is high in Alta also. . Population 609.With 3 Willy's wagons, and 3 Willy's pick ups that I know of. I haven't counted the CJ'sThat’s a great shot. The Willys/population ratio looks like it’s very high in Sawyers Bar.
