Ever notice how many VW's there are in the old Dirty Harry movies? It's amazing! Theyre the ones that always get crashed into in the car chases...

Spotted a light blue over dark blue 11 window on a single car hauler going eastbound on I-90 near Erie, PA this morning. Couldn't get pics as I was going the opposite direction.

Is it any one on here? Any bus in Erie is rare, but a split sighting is like an albino sasquatch.

I saw a nice Sealing Wax Red / Beige Grey deluxe bus with Oregon plates with a loaded roof rack driving east on I-40 in Arizon towards the Grand Canyon. Wife said she saw it again at the Grand Canyon visitor's center parking lot (I can't confirm this sighting). Samba member perhaps?

Driver looked like he was enjoying the peaceful drive. Weather and temp seemed good...very little humidity! Unfortunately we had to fly to California from Virginia rather than drive the Westy due to time constraints. Love the area around Joshua Tree, CA. Cool farmer's market and many bus sightings along the highway in eastern Cali / western Arizona.

I bet it is! Looks like an aluminum deck trailer on my phone. The Hook Is THREADED Through The deck hole, with straps around the wheels pulling out. First washboard road, or tire with a slow leak, that bus is gonna go off the side. Is Jared from shipping wars hauling this load? Laughing

Lots of Bus sightings today as people head to Lake Havasu for Buses by the Bridge. I saw three on the 10 freeway and my kid saw this bus at his high school and sent me the picture. I have trained him well. Cool

Saw it!

That is the most amazing place! Lots of VWs all around the layout. I spent a half a day trying to take it all in! Absolutely a classic, must-see HO scale layout on everyone's "bucket list". Nothing else even compares! I can't wait to go back again in 2017.

I spotted the same 15 window that my kid did a few weeks ago. This time on the 10 Freeway in San Bernardino, CA sporting all sorts of Girl Scout cookie advertising. Cool

Saw this one today as I was driving south on the 101 (California).
Looks great.
