This would be a looooonnnnggg story...I called my dad in San Diego and tried to explain how my truck f'd up. Yes, the Bronco broke down.
In the mean time, here's a photo you will appreciate. This is in Bodie State Historic Park. This family had a first-time visit to Bodie on Father's Day..
There is a lot going on in this photo, please examine and enjoy. I'm not sure who this guy and gal are but they're setting out their kids just right...with a knowledge of history.
