Studebaker Pickup

Abandoned truck

Abandoned truck

This old truck sits tucked in against the firs on one of my regular walking routes. It’s a Studebaker, which I didn’t know even made pickups. Looking at the body styling, I’d guess that it was made in the early 50’s. There are quite a few abandoned vehicles to be found in the area, left on empty lots and dead end dirt roads.

El's old truck.

El Shoat was a Port Townsend fixture. He moved here after WWII and set up a farm. Our property, that’s our house in the background, sits in what was once his horse pasture. El passed on last year in his late 80s, quietly, after feeding his horses in the morning. This old truck just sits there, reminding us all of El.
