It doesn’t look like this old tow truck has to report to work for the start of a work week as it appears it would need a tow itself to do so.

I don’t know if this old Chevy truck is ready for another work week as it looks like it has seen too many years of work and its ‘get up and go’ may have got up and left!

The evening of July 16, 1942 was an event for those living in Bayfield, Wisconsin, will never forget when an estimated 8 inches of rain fell in about 12 hours and caused a massive flood which destroyed homes, businesses, city blocks, equipment and unearthed caskets from the cemetery. The “Big Ravine” forms a natural drain in normal times, but became a roaring river that night which tossed boulders like marbles and ripped through the city with destructive forces, leaving mud and sand everywhere when the waters receded.
The thirty graves which washed away from the cemetery, where scattered among the mud and not of all the bodies where able to be identified and some had to be re-buried in unmarked graves. In 2007, during a sewer project, more bones were found and were
believed to have been deposited by the 1942 flood.
In front of the Bayfield Heritage Center, a recreation of the mud filled streets which buried cars and trucks from the 1942 flood is on display as well as a section inside the center dedicated to the history of the flood.

With more snow on Monday, I think this tractor should get off the back of the truck and get a blade or bucket so it can clear a path for the truck. But maybe the tractor has the right ideal; just give up on clearing snow and stay as far away from the snow as possible since the snow will just fall again and it is pointless to try to move it.

Despite the apparent age of the truck, it appears as though it still has some ‘get up and go’ left in it. But with temperatures below zero again today, I think I would prefer a vehicle with side windows in it due to the very cold wind chills even though it is a beautiful truck.

In 1947, Willys-Overland Motors debuted its Willys Jeep truck that served up everything that a farmer or laborer could want without much else. Buyers could have their truck with a pickup bed or a stake bed, or they could even take home a bare chassis if they liked depending on their needs.

This truck doesn’t look like it can outrun the next snow and fits very well into this ‘old’ week since due to the lack of vent windows, this old Chevy truck was built between 1947 to 1950. (Since I didn’t go trespassing to see were the gas tank or shifter was mounted, I couldn’t narrow down the age more precisely but I’m sure others would know just by looking at it. But since the gas cap appears to be by the passenger door and that the side hood emblem appeared to have been a longer one stating Loadmaster or Thriftmaster, then that would narrow it to early 1949.)

When taking pictures of the fall crop harvest, sometimes there is a long wait for the combine to come back to the end of the field where I was and so the camera looks around for other interesting subjects like this close up shot of a grain truck and seeing the reflection in the gas cap.
