Some camping pix...

A friend emailed these to me. I thought some of you might be interested in what now look like happier times. (Gotta run, but I'll see if I can upload some better images.)

"Auto Camping" was a very popular activity and grew rapidly as cars became more available. I have an Auto Camp brand gasoline cook stove from the period. Part of the "Auto Camp cook kit", the little stove is similar to a Coleman counterpart but much earlier. Pretty cool item.
Unfortunately, the camping craze grew to a point where it was starting to destroy the very sites that people came to see. Strict regulations we still have today were put into place to control the flood of people.

Here's another picture from the series. Doesn't have a T in it, but can anyone identify the truck? It looks like "Service" but the resolution isn't that good.
