Southern Cross Free Trappers

On the Sunday of a holiday week-end heat wave we were visited by 19 members of the Austin 7 Club. Nine grand little cars tackled the steep hills of the Strathbogie Ranges and the final South Pass route to Bernard’s Cache. The heat and humidity forced everyone to seek shade but we still had lots of fun together as these pics show.

Photos below were contributed by Jenny Baker of the Frontiers Living History Group. See more of Jenny’s photos.

Cannon Mike from the USA shares a few pics from cannon shoots and of an Eastern Oregon rendezvous of a couple of years ago. Lately, Mike prefers to play with cars and meets many Aussies and Kiwis at the Bonneville Salt Flats each year.

Jim (Sloe Bear) Douglass wrote “We are in a deep freeze up here, -20F and dropping. Cache Valley is a long narrow valley that opens to the north and is mountain locked on the other three sides. When we get a low pressure over us it pulls in the cold and it can’t get out. We just plunge downward! Right now the weather guesser says we are in for at least another week to ten days of this below zero stuff. I guess I’ll stay indoors by the fire and work on my gear.”
