RRrrrrr!!! For really and truly, The picture links are working !
I grabbed my ever trusty EOS 5D camera to start taking pictures for this trip, I frame the shot, I press the shutter release, and cluncka clunka nuttin honey.
I take the lens off to find the mirror has detached from the shutter mechanism leaving me with only a Nokia phone to take at best blurry pictures. Fortunately I can dismiss it as a trip we've done before so It's already been photographed but still, it's the booger of it all. A couple hundred bucks to fix it back in Seattle at Glazers and it'll be good as new.
Here's a few pics from before the incident.
I liked the attention to detail and factory new restoration of this car. A working hood scoop.
This really was a beautiful car.
A stock Mercury Monterey with a flathead V-8 and Dual carburation.

It has just started to rain fairly heavily here at Honeyman State Park. It rained late last night for about an hour too but became a beautiful day. Lets hope for the same pattern tomorrow.
As we left Seattle and were driving through Tacoma, We noticed a building on fire.
Right after the fire, I noticed a 1966 GTO in poor condition hopefully being taken to a new good home and restoration.
Sidebar:
The rain outside has taken a turn for the worse. I feel sorry for the tent campers.
This was a beautiful old truck.

Here we have the fateful vehicle where my mirror gave up the ghost.
And our final image.
