A real non-Baja TRIP report


In 1965 me and some friends attended a "Flower Power" outdoor concert near San Francisco and afterwards and, for some unknown reaso, none of us could remember where I parked my nearly new Ford Falcon. After searching for an hour we gave up and just assumed it had been stolen.

Last month I returned to the site and suddenly remembered parking it in a young eucalyptus grove but the only one around was now 50 years old. I walked into it and sure enough my '63 Falcon was still there:

Perhaps BigOly might want to add this photo of a NESTING FALCON to his collection of bird pictures?

Hmmm.... my dad had a '63 Falcon convertible, metallic blue, white on top, 4 on the floor... Now THAT was a car you didn't forget- no matter how good the concert was (or the refreshments).
