on the way up to a viewpoint:
then the others caught up (recall rally video?) i scout for oncoming traffic and photo spots, and they meander at their own pace. its a win win  just remember to bring your CB radios 
got to the view point, and snapped this one:
counts see anything ...like couldnt see the busses in the foreground from where we were standing, and within 5 minutes we turned around to see lake wenachee!:
This pic worked out accidentally with everyone but me in it...:
(Optimus Prime voice: Auto-Bus's, ROLL OUT!)
time to rally:
got up to this cool river view:
it was spectacular!
(see how i got the river AND the busses? )

got back on the way and found some epic colors of leaves:
theres a story behind the needles all over my roof...
from this angle, you almost cant tell its my bus because theres no rust, dents, or weird things!
again, rallied ahead:
close up of my lights:
this one was a cool spot to hang out for a bit:
couple of favorites of just maisy:
best view from the drivers seat :

this got very colorful in this spot:
moreso with more busses:
me n dug then took a side trail (this happened often, DenMom likes her paint )
think ATV road, but smaller, then jam two busses in it. thats what we drove on. hence previously mentioned pine needles and leaves on front bumper. (which is now totally destroyed....pic later of the bottom of it...)
then things got a bit fun:
more to come...i gotta get some sleep.

That is funny, but you should try it with an empty wagon, not a loaded westy! Walmart lot is fun, too. Now, get that corner fixed.

Alright, that was pretty funny! I hit a nice loose dirt road last week, and managed to break the rear end loose. It was like hearing your parents make a dirty joke for the first time; you hide the laughter and contemplate how nefarious it feels. Then you laugh anyway.
