Old vehicles and a donkey

These are from the "museum" I visited in Jerome, AZ

The donkey was interested in what was going on down in the parking lot at this place. Wasn't much really, just my family and I getting out to stretch our legs.

When I was in college at Arizona State College, aka, NAU (remember I compete with dirt in the oldness category), they used to hold downhill boxcar races in Jerome--in 1963. Cottonwood was a gas station and a general store. Like Bisbee, I take there is an art crowd who apply their trade to cars. It's an interesting place. The donkey's expression pretty much sums it up! Cute!

Nice set Fred, that Shell truck was a power house in it's day. To quote you, "wasn't much really", next time, give the camera to someone else and hitch a ride on the donkey. We all might even pay to see those photos.

This museum has a real natural feel about it. Everything out in the open. Your captures show this feel really well Fred. Very nice captures of all the old vehicles. And I like the nosey donkey. That is another old mode of transport. lol... Thanks for sharing Fred.

Hello Fred, you have been busy, love the old cars in what appears to be a very large out doors museum. Was the donkey part of the attraction, maybe a childrens farm, or just an interested spectator. Great work buddy

LOL.... I sincerely doubt the reference to dirt is true but, I can believe the boxcar races in Jerome. That road is pretty steep. Cottonwood is a bustling city now. My take on Jerome is there is an artsy enclave there that enjoys decorating their cars and motorbikes hence the "museum." It was an enjoyable stop in our drive to Sedona and Oak Creek. I'd very much like yo go back. The donkey is probably my favorite in this set. He just seemed to sum up the interest and character of the place. Thanks for looking!
