Very rustic!
Not quite as smooth riding as our current day tires. 😉
That's for sure.
Amazing to think that there was a time when this was considered the pinnacle of technological advancement!
My grandparents crossed the state of Texas in a wagon in the 1920's. Reminds me of their time. Love the sepia tone you took with this image. :)
Thanks. It must have been a memorable journey for them.
They were married 64 years, just shy of 65 by a month when my grandfather passed away. That was 1989. They were poor and my great-grandfather didn't approve. My grandmother ran off at 17, lied about her age and married my grandfather. :)
Love won in their relationship. 😁💕
Yes it certainly did! :) They were only 6 months apart in age. He died at age 82. We thought she would be shortly after, but she lived almost another 10 years. A week from her 92 birthday. It will be 20 years since she passed on December 18th this year. I miss them! :)
