Remember when

Remember these? In the 50’s and prior you’d see these water bags hanging off car bumpers, mostly in the west. People took these along when they went camping and on long trips, it was their water. . Even on hot days they kept the water cool due to evaporation. I remember dad and I heading up to our favorite trout stream. After 3 hours of driving in 100 degree heat in a truck with no a/c, the water was cool and sweet, heaven sent.

 

My FIL calls a fishing lure a lerr

 

I remember, I've still got the one we used on vacation when I was a kid in the '60s.

 

Find a young child to show you how to turn off.

 

We had one of these too.

 

Growing up in the east I never saw these in person just pictures

 

yes

 

Me too

 

Does peanut butter count?

 

I remembered driving around Arizona with the official desert water bag on the Scout.

Dad used to take us out to ghost towns and old mining camps and stuff like that looking for souvenirs.

 

I don’t remember putting butter on saltine crackers because we usually only had margarine. I do remember putting peanut butter or jelly on any kind of cracker.

 

Greatest thing for pouring pancakes

 

Still have one. A bit faded and a bit rough around the edge. I am sure I can pull out other kitchen items from long before I was born.

 

Must be N.C. thing.

 

Sure…. Done that too!

 

Who remembers these?

 

Who remembers that we just did stamps about 6 weeks ago???

 

I guess not me.
