SIDE-ROADS

When you are lost in time, traveling the two-lane backroads, you run across all sorts of unusual and interesting places missed by the hurry-scurry travelers of the interstates. Here's our own little "roadmap" of these "side-roads" that we think you might like to take. Most of the commentary is taken directly from the site itself - we are not affiliated with any sites or companies listed here.

Photo Sites

• THE OLD TRUCK HOME by Bob Gilbreath; "I hope to give you a sample of what I see in the old trucks. Some of it is basically the art of the picture some the history of the machine and then the admiration and the respect of the people that lived through all of the changes that brought us to the fine equipment that you see today."

Busses

Since we own a "Silversides" (a 1948 model, to be exact), we figured we needed to have a section on antique busses.
