You are all welcome to party! I want to organize a parking competition finally and then later post pictures here! :devil:
303 stuff all boxes can be nicely stored at my garage, since no Rangers fit in there.

But telling the truth the legend is more interesting than reality about this place;)
i would guess the legend was to keep kids from snooping around that area and getting hurt. sounds like it worked lol. these days kids would run to it with you tube cam going and tide pod in mouth.

Reminds me of the old Tonka adverts.


DO NOT REPLICATE!

Hi Frank

When we were in the development of the 2.3L EFI Ranger, the program was on compressed timing to get this wonderful new version in production. I had 6 prototypes and they all had a new version of the EFI motor installed. There is some testing requiring a "broken in" motor, so in compressed timing we decided to drive the prototypes to the Denver High Altitude Test Lab, from Dearborn as a breakin. We were in a rest area when a Semi pulled in, Orange Trailer with TONKA on the side. So not to miss the photo op, I had all six Rangers lined up behind the TONKA semi. Semi driver was quite amused so we decided to pull out onto the Freeway and for about 10 or 15 miles we dutifully followed behind the Semi. CB radio traffic was full of comments and laughs... These compressed trips are long and arduous and I tried to make it fun when I could.... This was one of these rare moments when you can get work done and have fun...

Best,
Phil

Would this competition be for crooked parking or straight parking, or include both categories? ? ? :crackup:

You're only qualified to enter one. And we all know which one that is. :facepalm:?

Camping at the beach in Laguna overlooking a calm Pcific Ocean.

Nice. So great to be able to camp right there!

I was in Laguna on a bicycle trip from San Diego to Santa Monica along the PCH. IIRC, there was a Ruby’s Diner there and the menu included a “Duke Burger”.
