So I just spent the best morning with my son and my 2 friends. We prowled
Jacksons yard in Kendal for most of the morning. It was so worth playing
hooky from work. If you have not been to this yard it sucks to be you because
it is acres and acres of very rusty relics from the 30s to the 60s. There are latterly
rows and rows of vintage tin. Most are rusted back to mother nature but the trucks
and vans are full of stuff. I was able to score some backup light bezels and grill
parts and spare mirrors foe my 66 suburban. My buddy got a good bumper for his
40COE and my other buddy got some script for his collection. My son laughed as I wen't
thru a row of doors , I asked what was so funny and he said that's the same pile you
went thru last time we were hear about 10yrs ago looking for parts for his Javelin,
. Unfortunately they had not improved with age . It was really cool to see all the other
people today walking around with there treasures. Dads and kids, families ,and people
just taking pictures, last yard of its kind that I know about and I guess people just want
the experience again.
. You gotta go before they close it for good at the end of the month.
I did hear they might open the building and the barn in the spring. Now that is where
all the really good stuff is and it will be a real treasure hunt. It really was a great day
with my son and my good friends. Ed
Any day with friends doin car stuff is a good day
