One of our campfire songs goes, in part, like this:You can't ride in my little red wagonFront seats brokin' and the axel's draggin'There are variations on this, but whatever your preference they all apply to our Little Brown Wagon. She was a hand-me-down from Camp Indianola many years ago and even back then it was in dubious condition.  It is a 1995 with way over 209,000 miles (I don't know how many it actually has because the odometer has stopped working at 209k years ago). The radio doesn't work, it doesn't always start, but it doesn't always NOT start either so the mechanic can't seem to trace the problem. The tailgate often falls open, the driver's seat is broken so that it is like driving in a rocking chair, the lumber rack if rusted through on one of the supports so it squeaks like crazy, but we can't remove it because all of the bolts are completely rusted to the body - it's fused to the pickup.  There are a myriad of other mechanical problems, but it also just doesn't quite suit the camp's needs either. Probably the biggest inadequacy is that it's too small to tow the tractor when we want to get it serviced or repaired (in Astoria). So we are stuck having to pay the high fee for them to come and pick it up.  So OP is looking for a replacement pickup. We are looking at government surplus sites, auctions and local postings, we are leaving no stone unturned so we thought we'd ask our followers too. A donation would be ideal (it's a tax write-off!), but a generously priced option would also be gratefully considered.
