Cooling Off at CRRM in '73 (more moldy oldies)

Hi, All -
It's been REALLY warm here in Ventura these past few days - highs in the (gasp!) mid-eighties -
and a bit more humid than usual. Pretty mild by Texas standards, I'm sure, and the D.C. area as
well (Jackelopette is visiting me this weekend from Alexandria, and she's quite comfortable here).
But it's still a bit more than I'm used to, so to cool off I've been scanning & retouching a few more
moldy oldies - these are from the CRRM in mid-January, 1973 - a few days after the K-36 interior
shots that I posted recently.
Everything was frozen solid back then, but it did seem that there was a bit more room to move around than there is today:
I'm hoping to return to the CRRM in a few weeks, for the first time in several years. F&CC/RGS #20 should be home soon, and I can hardly wait to see #491 wearing her new Moffat Green jacket!
