The CROC

Some 15 or 20 years ago, the original Croc was born out of a junky Wheel Horse lawn tractor 

that was collecting rust on the farm.

It was a hobble-dy, cobble-dy, ridiculous machine in desperate need of a muffler. 

The Croc was customized for fun, and

engineered with the excuse of being a helpful mode of farm transportation

(hauling hay to the animals and sweet corn to the road, etc.).

If the Croc had an odometer, I would definitely want to know how many miles it roamed that first year...

Many years and a few overhauls later, the Croc continues to rock (er, Roll) on.

Of course, the Croc was an integral part of this year's camping holiday--

carting all sorts of items to and from the house,

giving Austin a few MORE opportunities to ride something (anything!),

and... serving as a table for the July 4th ice cream cranking.

the Croc is super-multi-purpose

In case you're curious about the Croc's name,

we named it in an affectionate, distant (very distant), relational way... 

-Ever heard of the John Deere Gator?-

two kinds of ice cream!!! huzzah!
