Bye, Bye Miss American Pie

Ten days ago I referenced that I wanted to post a picture, but an event needed to coincide with the picture. Today, that event occurred....

011509: This beauty is our 1950 Chevy dumptruck. She came to work and reside here in the late 1950's when "Topaz Trailer Park" was growing. Hauling sand, leaves and debris, she has endured through over 50 years of springs, summers, falls, and winters, and was a large part of the development of our little Park. She was eased into retirement about 7 years ago, and has stood watching over us and the highway she long ago traveled.

Recently we decided to give her a new lease on life and today she will retire to the warmer climates of So. Cal. where she will be restored to a former glory.

So, we bid you farewell our faithful friend....Thank you for the all the golden years you gave us.

"Bye, Bye, Miss American Pie. Drove my Chevy to the levy, but the levy was dry..."
