The Aeronca Champ was a popular alternative to Piper's Cub.

does a towed artillery cannon count???

I initially thought it was a recoilless rifle but was informed by a worker that it actually a Korean War era 105 howitzer cannon. I found it near the eastern end of the Southeast Entrance Road in Yellowstone National Park

It is used to control avalanches in the pass:

Great series Norm.
Hard pressed to call the first one a picture of a boat.
And I notice there is a dearth of people sitting on the seats at the back!!

Ya, those are the cheap seats. I don't think anyone goes there twice.

A must memory from Yellowstone NP ( IMHO, YMMV ) riding on the little yellow bus - The 1936 White Model 706 Tour bus

[ unless you are on/in a car only area, then it is know as the little yellow touring car ]


" . . . Yellowstone ordered 27 of the Model 706's for the 1936 season and by 1940 there were 98 Model 706's at Yellowstone. The older Yellowstone fleet was gradually phased out. The Model 706's were used through the mid 1960's when they were sold. The Skagway Streetcar Company of Alaska assembled a fleet of eight units, which were used until 2001, and then sold to Yellowstone National Park for restoration, exhibition and limited tour duty. . . . "

The Historical Yellow Buses Return to Yellowstone National Park's Original North Entrance.

we took 3 tours on it
