Cruised to Mt St Helens today. Only 2 Camaros, but the other was a new C5 member (MXR), so he's been initiated now! I told him to pop in and meet the old farts, and also extended an invite to WCOFF II. He and his wife LOVE road trips

The fires in eastern WA are making the skies here hazy, so mountain viewing wasn't so good, but Camaro and chubby chipmunk viewing were perfect!!
Nice pics as usual Jeanette. It's funny, but that first one reminded me of the first Camaro TV commercial that aired, introducing the 1967 model. It featured a Camaro emerging from a Volcano!
Another weird coincidence happened to me at the old bike swap meet that I went to, near Portland today. I've been looking for parts for a custom Schwinn that I am building, that is inspired by our car. I'm painting it Synergy green (of course). I found a rear deck with fenders that I thought might look good on the bike. The guy offered me a deal I couldn't refuse and I bought it right off. I asked him if he knew what kind of bike it came off, but he had no idea. My closest guess was a Huffy.
I was carrying my purchase while looking at another vendors stuff. The guy apparently was looking at what I was carrying when he chimed in, "You've got parts of a Huffy Camaro!"
I didn't even know Huffy made a Camaro. I knew Schwinn made a Corvette, but not this. I later picked up a tank and headlights, without knowing that they were also the same as used on the Camaro. But the same guy noticed again, and the same thing happened again. Weird!
I Googled them when got home. Now I know what my next "must have" bike is!
