One of the folks I worked with had a home in an upscale NW Portland neighborhood.  They couldn’t even plant tulips and daffodils without having the bulb quality approved by the HOA.  
 

Paraphrasing Groucho, any neighborhood that had a resident like me, I wouldn’t want to live in anyway...
 

The area we live in (for 44 years) has a HOA.

Fortunately it's not like some "Nazi" HOA.

Our bylaws are very livable most aren't enforced anyway.

 

We do have have some valid ones most along the fire safety type.

But yes I am for parking it at my house.

Maybe that's the "ancient"rebel in me.

What cool old truck campers.

Lots of great memories.

No truck camping for me as a kid.

Lived outside Philly so the best I had was the Boy Scouts.

We went on lots of camping trips/hikes.Our Troop was back

in the "old"days one of the first in the nation.

Lots of great memories.

 

Thanks for posting.

attachicon.gifhoops - 1.jpgOkay- it's nostalgia time. Boon docking somewhere northeast of Death Valley early 1986. I sold the 1965 Panel a few years ago because I also had a '66 4x4 Panel. My kids used to hide in the back and asked me to drop them off a block before school. All of their friends affectionately called it " Hoopty". I used to wonder what they called me?!

Great stuff, Ronin, thanks!

Thanks Paul.Our troop was one of the first.

I am not quite that old myself.Close though.

 

I think back to all the great times we had with out troop.

Lots of camping,even every year around Washington's Birthday time

we would attend a huge camp out at Valley Forge.

Once you do that in Feb you get to appreciate what Washington and the troops had to live through.
Thankfully we only spent a weekend there,then could home to our warm homes.

Great fun though.

 

Don't know if Boy Scouts do great things like that today.

Frank
