As luck would indicate, the roof removed was probably full of those little windows and a sunroof.

The 1965 Piper Cherokee didn’t fare much better....it seemed to have an affinity for tree trunks...

A friend of mine found a 1964 Standard Micro. The license plate was from 1970 and it had seats from a Blue Bird school Bus bolted in it.

And that is an EARLY jet engine. Like from a J-31, the first jet engine put into US service in the late '40's. All those early engines look similar, since they are derived from Frank Whittle's revolutionary inventions.

Wow, that is great. Can anyone identify it or have other photos of something similar?

I have installed backwards in this picture. The tent includes a canopy similar to the canopies in this thread. All of the poles are 1/2" electrical conduit
Looks like you have a Sundial Pent Tent and ladder.

It was in Scotts Valley, just up the hill from Santa Cruz.
Isn't there a thread on that bus?

People smoked underway and used the ashtrays too. I wonder how many ember burns there are and fire-in-the-eyes.
