- Ahhhhh, years gone by.  Picture of the Oregon Dune Buggy and the 1971 Dodge Challenger.
  Those were the days.  Challenger gone, dune buggy is still here and mine
  (to be restored, really!)  This was taken looking west on the farm in 1979.

- Picture of the farm looking north-east.  Grainery on the right side is now gone, as well
  as the garage in the middle (moved to my uncle Joe Van Geests home on 
  Platte Lake near Pine Center, MN).

- Picture of the farm in 1990.  My newphew, Chris Fleck and my lovely wife Joan, are in
  the buggy.  The blue car: a 1979 Dodge Magnum, long since gone.  This was bringing the
  buggy to the Twin Cities trip.  Dune buggy has since been returned and stored on the
  farm.

- This is our home in White Bear Township, MN near White Bear Lake, MN (yes, it's a
  township, not a city).  This shot is looking south-east and shows the VW ragtop
  and my mother and fathers car (Ray and Alice).  We own this car now, so it's kinda
  weird to see this picture.  We stored the car while mom and dad were in Holland
  visiting Jacob, Maria, Eddie, and Oscar van Geest, who live in Nieuw-vennep, Holland.

- This is another shot of our our home in White Bear Township.  This shows the
  VW ragtop and our 1992 Chev Van.  Kinda a big/small type shot.  This is looking east.

- This is shot inside our garage when the dune buggy was down at our home.
  As you can see, restoration has started, but isn't completed.  I suspect this will
  be completed when my son Scott is a teenager.  Need that father/son stuff ya know.
