In 1952 my brother and I went camping with my dad between the volcanes El Popocatepetl, AKA "Don Goyo" and the Ixtacihuatl, dad pitched the tent just bellow where the car stop running, carburators would not run any higher, needed a different "needle" for high altitude, when the car stoped running he let it drift back and turned it arround when the engine caught, we camped a few feet from the car in a nice claring, with a nice little bon fire in front, tent camped unlil 1968 when i bought a VW bus with the spilt window up front that would open for air con, built it for camping, today we are pampered.
Those were the days.
