Today we head to the Portland Swap Meet. My buddy Christian and I headed over to Jon's at 7am. Jon had the 66 Buick Skylark GS strapped to the trailer and we were ready to roll.
The mountain pass was snowy and the road was packed snow and well cindered. We got stuck behind snow plows but it was actually a good place to be. The travel time to Portland is normaly 3 hours but we were running a little late and it took us an extra half hour to make the trip. We quickly stopped off at the hotel and dropped off Christian's truck and headed to the Expo to set up out vendor space.
This is my 20th year coming to the Jon has been coming for over 30. This was Christian's first swap meet, so we were calling him a Swap Meet Virgin.
After setting everything up Christian and I were off to look at thousands of cars and parts. This is my happiest time of the year, I'm like a kid in a candy store and Christian was taken in every bit of it.
After the meet closed for the day the gang all met up at the hotel and headed to dinner. There were 17 of us for dinner. It was a perfect way to end the day, good food, friends and lots of talk about car parts.
