The Search Van
At Camp Morrison, sometime in the mid-'80's

A 1969 Step Van,
the first vehicle Post 18 ever bought. Served as equipment hauler, bedroom, shelter from the rain, comm center, and who knows what else.
Sold in the mid-90's to a construction company in Silverton for $500. They said it would be the cleanest rig in their fleet, which
moved Rick to comment that he didn't want to see the rest of their fleet. It didn't have that many miles on it, but it did have a little Bondo, a lot of holes,
a suspension that sagged to the right, a little rust here and there, possibly some smoke damage, and a lot of searches under its fenders.

The Boxes

Built by Loyal Smith (and probably others) out of plywood. There were more than
a dozen of them, and they held food, cooking equipment, tools and whatnot.
Most have been retired in favor of tuff boxes because most of the boxes weighed more than their
contents, but at least one is still in use (above), holding tools in the back of the Suburban.
The orange-and-green color scheme was Post 18's "signature", and is the basis for the
color scheme on this page and the rest of our web site.
