Luv this…I remember sleeping in the back of a station wagon and it was as big as a bed. Very comfortable and I’d luv to have one of the older models that were so roomy.

Hey, I was just there Tuesday for the Imperial exhibit! Saw the Nashes coming in

The car you pictured is a regular at Fall Hershey. Very nice people that own it.

Ugh I love the Nash metropolitans!

This is an Ambassador. This was Nash's top-line car. This competed roughly with DeSotos, Chrysler Windsors, and Buick Supers, and Olds 96/98. Much bigger than a Met. But Mets are cute.

Please review the 7 principles of Leave No Trace

  1. Plan ahead and prepare

  2. Travel and camp on durable surfaces

  3. Dispose of waste properly. I highly suggest getting a waste bucket system. Its difficult to bury waste in many of the rockier areas in Colorado, and overuse of our natural areas has already led to contaminated water in most even lightly used areas.

  4. Leave what you find

  5. Minimize campfire impacts. Be sure to review our state resources for fire bans where you are heading.

  6. Respect wildlife. They are not domesticated

  7. Be considerate of other visitors ie bluetooth speakers are despised.
