Default Black Hole On Wheels

Here is the PGCA trailer, AKA Black Hole, which you can see is a misnomer because its actually white and has a light inside.

We picked through a lot of stuff and hauled it to an annual meeting in Louisville. There is also a picture of a trunk that gets shown around a lot.

I think we had the Clown Catalog in the trunk at that show.

Now Black Hole has been towed to the northeast and is stored in a shed there.

Do we, The PGCA, still have the barrels Sherman Bell used to "Find Out For Himself?" Are they being displayed?

Harry,
As far as I know we do not. I was not as active back when all that came about so hopefully someone here can tell you what ever became of those barrels.

I agree Bruce. It's not black at all. Though where the door is some could call that a hole.
However, the Northeast is a very dangerous place weather-wise. Though far safer than the mid Atlantic states, I am told.

Bruce, Let me show you a real black hole on wheels, If I did not have this, think of the Parkers I could have acquired, but it helps keep me sane, Gary

Gary, how about you pick up the turnip farmer and me and we'll head for Montana come early October. Is it four wheel drive? Room for a pack of bird dogs? I can promise you no mud tracking in and no peeing on the floor by the dogs.

Boy that could hold more than one Clown Catalog plus all the boxes of secret information about where all the old family high grade small bores are hidden!!!
