Reminds me of our family vacations in the 50's and 60's before the advent of fast food joints at every interstate intersection. I remember stopping at small wayside picnic sites just like this and my mother whipping up hot lunches on our little one-burner Bernz-0-Matic propane stove. We also had the red cooler with the handle that locked down the top and the bottle opener on the side. Good times!

In all the years we went camping Mom never did the cooking because she had the hard job...knowing what the kids were doing and where they were doing it.

This certainly could easily be from my life, but there is one very obvious thing missing: the Scotch Grill or cooler or picnic accessory case. I am sure we of those times will remember! They were ubiquitous in the late 50s and well into the 1960s.

A can of Standby Tomato Juice! Is that ever a blast from the past.
