Somewhere between Angouleme and Limoges: We had a zone conference and we decided to take our velo-moteurs so that we could do a little sight seeing and also so that we could go to a picnic in Perigueux after wards. It was about 100 kilometers for each leg of the trip for a total of 300 kilometers. This was an all too common event for us. The spark plugs would foul pretty easily so it was always necessary to clean them. Of course, if it wasn't the spark plugs, someone would always have a flat tire. My velo-moteur is just like the one that is farthest from the lens. A Peugeot 103! Actually, it really beat having a bicycle which they made us switch over to during the last month of my mission. Anyway, this was a kind of fun trip. We stopped on the way to Limoges at Oradour-sur-Glane. This was a town that was mistaken for another town in France that had gotten in trouble with the German army during WWII. Just about everyone from the town was killed for the other towns mistake. The town was left as a memorial. After Limoges, we went to Perigueux for a little relaxation and fun with the members down there and then it was back to Angouleme. This was a two day trip. In the picture are Elder Crum in the back, Elder Cairns on the right, and Elder Newman (now there is another story and you'll just have to ask me) on the left.Note: Patrick Cairns tells me that he never went on that trip so this is a photo from another trip to who knows where but it still looks the same. Like I said, we were always stopping to fix something. ;-)

An incredibly vibrant picture given how old it must be. How much photoshopping did you do here?
No photo-shopping. This was scanned directly from a slide. Slide film was usually much more vibrant.
