Couple pix, one happy & one sad ...

First, a 1968 Deluxe that was given to the Rescue. I decided to pay-it-forward and gave it to my nephew who just started college. We dropped all the fluids and it fired right up:

Found this one about 3 miles from my house. Looks like it was used for a hunting stand but was complete so it'll help a few others get back on the road:

I'll see if I can dig up some pix of the family in the 1969 westy ...

This was just yesterday, down on the Columbia river on the Or/Wa border.
A place called Crowes Butte.
Not exactly wilderness, but super nice considering we were the only ones in the whole place. Tne river is 15 feet to the right, nice campsite.

Dave~ Yosemite Yellow? Where did you find that name? I'm not disputing you, just very confused about what to call the color. This is the type2 page where I found the name 'Ravenna Green' for M-code 9648 which supposedly is paint code L65K. Here is where the error might lie.
http://www.type2.com/m-codes/t2colors.html

This page, on the other hand, lists only the paint colors and names, but not the M-code designation. Here you find Bali Yellow L62H on the list, but still not Yosemite Yellow (nor Ravenna Green).
http://www.type2.com/library/identifi/paincd.htm

Truthfully, the color looks more like yellow than green to me, which is why I have a hard time accepting the name Ravenna Green. So far, yours is the only other bus I have seen in this color. I've been wanting to talk with someone about it, but we seem to be rare birds, even under your black disguise.

my 75 would be pretty rare down in the US as it is a Canadian one year only model (and UK)
I have seen quite a few here and even know 2 other people that have the same exact model/colour/year as me...
I can't recall where I saw the "yosamite yello" but I think it was on my bus
I'll check when I get it back from the shop for it's spring physical
should be today or tomorrow

does yours have the little side bench?

Dave~ let's move our converation over to here and save this thread for the photos.

This was the SooKool Bus on a roadtrip to Death Valley (circa 1988). It belonged to a friend. Now I notice the emblem is hanging askew. The emblem ended up disappearing during the Beastie Boys era, but no wonder, it was already loose. This bus eventually had an engine fire, and an insurance company paid for another bus.

Not really in the wild, but waaay out in Chandler, Ok at a music fest last November. This was also our first "family" campout. Lotsa fun.

And one in the "wilds" of Forest Park in St. Louis, on our way back from picking the bus up near Madison, WI.

Here's my bus in the northern Michigan woods:

It's not a bay, but here we are circumnavigating Maui in a rented wasserboxer. Highly recommend it for an awesome vacation relatively cheap.
