Your French picnic shot looks almost identical to my camping photo from a couple of years ago. Funny how landscapes transcend continents.

Doesn't look like you will be running heater boxes to warm up the cabin of the Bus?

some photo from a test trip about 70 miles last week end
in a area called the 1000 ponds , also le " little finland "
we pass under the farm access
a chaptel , the road is a nordic ski slope when the snow is here
a virus is killing a lot of tree
now we can go " offroad "
perfect place for a pic nic
la mer = the sea .... but we live in the farest region in france from sea or ocean
this time i work on the carboard of the bus ... more detail next time |
