Tree Farm
November 27th, 2005 | by jg3 |Today I had the good fortune to be able to revive/continue a long-loved tradition, a visit to a christmas tree farm! Only this time, it was slightly different. Instead of the antique pick-up truck with the four (or more) of us crammed into the cab, we were in the mini and there was just two of us. The logistics of carrying a seven foot tree on a car with a somewhat shorter cab worked out suprisingly well.
(Thanks to mijoy for the snapshot)
By the way, the Ticonderoga Farm where we got the tree was fabulous. The people were friendly, the prices were better than buying a tree at a home supply or grocery store the selection was good. There was probably a lot more available than what we saw, but we were too impatient to wait for the hayride. There were pre-cut trees or you could saw your own (same price).

Did it stay on the roof of the Mini ? It doesn’t look like it is tied down in a heavy duty manner!

it isn’t tied down in a heavy duty way, but it is tied on tightly in two places. It stayed on as I stayed below 55 mph all the way home.
