Where was your Willys today?

- Start date
Nothing and yet everything at the same time:
I think we may have another RFTH location.
Anytime. There are options up there. Lots of BLM land.

But everyone will be required to have a Hula Gurl Happy Hippy Hood Honey. See the "Trashy Women" thread for ideas

In the Santa Ana Mountains today with Art and family (Wife Terese and Granddaughter D'ne).
The Santa Ana Mountains basically separate Orange County from the Inland Empire (Riverside and San Bernadino Counties). Currently the only motorized access is at the top of Silverado Canyon (where I live in OC) throuigh the Maple Springs FS gate. Art is on the other side of the range and had mentioned wanting to take a drive up when the FS gate opened. His granddaughter had never been "off-roading" so this was a great opportunity. But while it's still April, "May Gray" is in full swing, lots of blowing fog eliminated the sweeping views of the SoCal megalopolis. One can see from the San Gabes (Home of the Wrightwood Willys Day, Los Angeles and the Hollywood sign) to Santa Catalina Island and most of the Channel Islands if it's really clear. Pretty chilly up there today but really green and lush with flowers. We'll do this again a little later in the season; wanna join us?

Was at a localish car show today. Chino Corn Feed run. There were supposedly around 1,400 cars, trucks and tractors. There were a few other Willys there. The red Jeep and the yellow Willys truck both won awards.

My most memorable and cherished trophy is from a car show put on as a fundraiser by a local Boy Scout Troop. The boys make all of the trophies and choose the winners. It didn’t hurt my chances when I let them all pile into the Jeep for a picture as they were judging it though

No, not that I know of.
Ya, that was strange. The Holiday Car show on Birch St last year was on my B'day and my family treated me there. That's when I first met you and @Tralehead Bob.
Nice. Want to get up there one of these days. I used to hang glide somewhere around there in 1972 with my brothers. I had a 72 Chevy Blazer and guys would pay me a few buck to take them and their hang gliders up.
