Fargo

Keremeos, BC

While in the South Okanagan on the weekend, we took a drive to Keromeos where we dined on some very
delicious but artery-clogging fish & chips at the K-Cafe. We also discovered a wrecking yard full of
wonderful old trucks. The old gentleman that operates the yard kindly let us take photos. This is one
shot of an old Fargo flatbed that was in the yard. I like the unusual faded colours.

Yes, that is a peach tree growing out from behind the frond bumper; recently pruned and all. ;))

So glad you asked to take some pictures, what a great opportunity, love the shades, lines and textures, has a personality all its own :)

A beautiful wreck, I don't know how I missed this when I pass through Keremeos on -20 January day. I guess I was too busy shivering and snapping pics of the old Nash and Whippet at Parson Fruitstand. I guess I'll just have to make my way back for the August car show.
