I thought Gray was in a bad spot until I tried to take pictures of the Crown. This was the best I could manage. There were porta-potties to the right, and the sun was in a bad spot on the opposite side. Ah, well.

A bad picture is better than no picture.



Nice to see Old Gray come out of hibernation.

Could the chrome on that Squrt shine any brighter ? <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/eek.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Today was the 7th Annual Pike Township Fire Department (Indianapolis, Indiana) Safety Festival & Car Show. I took the Crown up and was in good company with eleven other antiques on display. There were awards for the top four Antique Fire Trucks, and the Crown took "Best in Show." Two of our other club members placed 4th and 2nd.



The weather was great for this event today, just hot!

Thanks, Frank. I think this was the last event for the Crown until next season, unless something comes up. It's time to start working on the many repair projects I've been throwing on the back burner.

One of our fellow Firefighters just shared a couple of pictures with me this morning that he took during the Hope Heritage Days Parade two weekends ago. Here I go by the grandstands with the Crown.

Here are a couple of pictures following our second and shorter (only 20 hours vs. 6 days) road trip from Hope, Indiana to Dallas, Texas.











I'll post more pictures from along the way when I have a chance.
