My Dad Says "Upkeep Is Everything . . ."

when it comes to a car.

This was taken on Friday (the 25th) at Gammon's Gulch ( http://www.gammonsgulch.com/index.html). It was also where I got the photo of this little church ( http://365project.org/kerristephens/365/2011-02-26).

The truck is actually old, the church is not.
Nice photo.

That is too funny. Love it.

Well youi do not see many of them anymore. Nice one.
March 1st, 2011  
Wow what a cool shot!! So much nostalgia!
March 1st, 2011  
Oh I love it!!! :)

Lol! That's not near the Old Tucson sets, is it? We lived there & visited before the fire in the 1990s - way back in the last century. In fact, I think that's my husband's old truck. ;)

great find and great shot

Coat of paint and it would be as good as new. great find

Nothing like an old classic pick-up. Nice shot.
March 1st, 2011  
This is great! I love photos of old things-such character, and you can't help but wonder about the stories they could tell!
March 1st, 2011  
This is great capture Kerri. The old pick-up with winch, not seen these days..

Is this what one would call an antique rusted truck? Great capture.
March 1st, 2011  
Great shot !!
March 1st, 2011  
What an awesome truck. Great shot.
March 1st, 2011  
Love this! That truck must have some history!
March 1st, 2011  
Super capture! So much character, such a stark setting.

I love this old truck, in fact I have found a PASSION shooting history and abandoned buildings/vehicles/homes. However, I don't like the angle on this. It would have looked so much better if you shot it from the front. This is almost like shooting a photo of someone's back.
March 1st, 2011  
@jasonbarnette Thanks for the advice!! If I get a chance to go back (and have more time out there) I probably will try from the front. It was such a neat place to visit and he had so many antique cars and buildings.


@pinktornado39 Actually, it was real near Tombstone. On Friday, we drove through Tombstone (right past Wyatt Earp's old house) to get to Willcox to see the sandhill cranes and then drove through Tombstone on the way back and decided while we were up that direction, since I'd never seen Gammon's Gulch, to go visit.

But it fits with the landscape perfectly.
March 1st, 2011  
Nice angle (and landscape)!
March 1st, 2011  
Very cool!
March 1st, 2011  
nice. you can feel the age
March 1st, 2011  
Love it!
March 1st, 2011  
Ha, I guess upkeep would have helped. So wild west! Fun shot.
March 1st, 2011  
Is that an old mine shaft in the background​?
I guess a little TLC would have helped. These old wrecks give lots if interesting textures. I like it.
March 1st, 2011  
Nice shot.
March 1st, 2011  
Wow--I wonder if it still runs? Probably not (:
March 1st, 2011  
Very cool!
March 1st, 2011  
Cool photo.
March 1st, 2011  
All those old brown orange tones in the picture are lovely
March 1st, 2011  
I dig old rusted relics to shoot!! Nicely captured Kerri
March 1st, 2011  
Love this picture! it's so country-ish (:
March 1st, 2011

March 1st, 2011

March 1st, 2011

March 1st, 2011  
What a great find. Old abandoned cars are very much emotions evoking. Very nice picture.
March 1st, 2011  
Kerri, it looks a wicked car :) Well done and thanks for sharing
March 1st, 2011  
Great capture!
March 1st, 2011  
I like the angle from behind with the hills in the background. It makes you think about where this truck has been in the last fifty or more years.
March 1st, 2011
