[Farmall] "Vintage" Tractor Crawl in New Zealand

[George Willer]

Roger,

One of our list members, Dot Parsons from Nelson sent a bunch of pictures of 
a trek on the south island several years ago.  I searched my archives, but 
the pictures must have been on an earlier hard drive.  It seems like they 
had a dozen or so tractors like Lantz Bulldogs, etc. and each tractor was 
pulling a camper... except the one that pulled the shower/rest room.  As I 
remember a group photo, the participants seemed to all be in their 70s.

Does this ring any bells?  I wonder what became of Dot?
