“…A traveller is to be reverenced as such. His profession is the best symbol of our life. Going from – toward; it is the history of every one of us. It is a great art to saunter.”  Henry David Thoreau

I cant believe how hard a time I had finding photos of something that used to be so ubiquitous and quintessentially American.  I still get excited when I see the mailman coming in anticipation of a postcard, letter, or new magazine.  Derek Redmond has a great site with a ton of photos and information on the CJ-3B and all of its variations (The above photos are all found his site).  Check it out, it’s a guaranteed work-stopper.
