Default 1980 Tracy California

There have been a few posters with old photos that I find very interesting, Thought I would share one of mine. At my house in 1980. Friends getting ready for a run to Yosemite. two chase vans to haul the kids and stuff for a week end of camping. 1980 Sturgis, 1966 Sprint, couple of Sporites, couple of Duo Glides, hard tail chopper and a K model. a few of my Buds have passed, lost touch with the rest. Happy Trails.

No chaps, No helmets, and no one packed. The Term poser or Rub were not invented yet. But we all had Hair!

Whenever I look at old photos, I can't help but remember why I have so few of them.
With an hourly wage of $2.40 an hour, it cost a couple of bucks for a 12 shot roll of Instamatic film, but $6.00 or more to send the film off to Brown Photo for developing, and then waiting about 10 days to get the pictures back, which were little 4x4 pictures.

Now we can shoot hundreds of pics, delete the ones that don't turn out, and get them printed out at Wally World for 10 cents each.
