Saw this nice Early Bay Panel this morning in China Town when we stopped to pick up some steamed buns.

I spotted this 74-79? bus from the Amtrak a short time after coming out of the Fullerton CA station. On the way back I tried to take a photo, but didn't get the side view. It looks decent, maybe someone would want to sell it?
I found it on Google Earth, maybe I should check it out, although if it's too new, it needs to be smogged in CA every two years and that's no fun.

North of Boston. I believe it had an Idaho plate; but I could be mistaken.

Saw this in a news feed regarding Oregon Day tripping.
The Westy looks like Xevin's green beauty.
I'm not sure that this is from an Oregon roadway.
The mountain scape in the background appears to be Half Dome in Yosemite.
Here's the road trip feed.

It is Half Dome in Yosemite. That is the road to Glacier Point.

On our way back home from a trip to Jasper AB …
Brazilian bay spotted at the Colombian Ice Fields between Jasper and Banff.
Didn’t meet the owners. Likely they were hiking around.
Long way from home

I meant to upload this 3 years ago. Late bay "14 window" that I ran across walking around El Gouna, Egypt. I saw a few bays zipping around Giza near the pyramids too, but no good pictures of them. All had their decklids wired open though!
