I wonder if the <b class="HeadlineText">Yamhill County Historical Museum</b> http://www.oregonmuseums.org/SectionIndex.asp?SectionID=36<br>which has a <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">vintage equipment collection. I don't know if they have all their equipment out yet as this is a new site for them.</span></span><br><br><font size="3"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Sans-serif; font-weight: bold;">Suzanne

The new car will consist of a Ford <br>> tractor power-plant mounted on two revolving cylinders instead of <br>> wheels-something on the order of a steam roller. ... In Oregon a stage <br>> line uses a snow motor in its two daily round trips over the Mackenzie Pass <br>> between Eugene and Bend."<br>> <br>> http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=568_1233111054<br>> <br>> Does anyone know if there is one of these contraptions still local to Oregon? I know there are a couple near Sacramento. (the Hedrick Agricultural History Center & the Towe Auto Museum) Maybe in places like Brooks? Don't recall any at Collier Park.<br>> <br>> Thanks,<br>> <br>> Bill Strickland <br>> <br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> or-roots mailing list<br>> or-roots@listsmart.osl.state.or.us<br>> http://listsmart.osl.state.or.us/mailman/listinfo/or-roots<br></body>
