THAT would have been some kind of a sight out on the road! Even for Uncle Pete's 70s [loose] standards...

Where where you standing to get the second photo? Seems too low for a bridge. Were you on a signal structure? Date: 04/18/14 05:57 Re: few more UP seventies show . . Author: Super_C Nothing wrong with "repeats" of such classic images. Please keep 'em coming!

Best regards, Rob L. Date: 04/18/14 07:08 Re: few more UP seventies show . . Author: SCKP187 Glad to see them this time because I don't remember them being posted previously. UP could really mix the power, but the DD35s are a great catch. Thanks for digging them out again.
