Well, maybe not 100% performance ready but this organ shows more promise than the piano I posted a photo of yesterday.

The Fashion Queen may or may not be tone deaf as she claims she is but the piano she’s sitting at is definitely tone dead.

One of the nice things about the desert, if you’re into preservation anyway, is that you can stick a car just about anywhere and years and even decades later it will be in about the same shape as when it was first parked.

It seems like there’s quite an affinity for cannons in Nelson. This is the third (I think) photo of one I’ve posted, and I’m sure there were more.

Summer Camp
Nelson, Nevada
2025

Travel to camp in style in the Canyon Express. Note the air conditioner in the back window–sort of a swamp cooler type deal whose fan was propelled by the wind while driving. Hopefully it was somewhat of an improvement over 8/60 air conditioning: eight windows down, 60 mph. (For you fact checkers out there, I’m counting only windows that were supposed to have glass in them and were meant to operate up and down at the time.)
