It still looks great. I think that the bed spreads are the same, printed material.

Used at the Wal-Mart yearly event in Orando, Fl. Look at the lower left side to see why they wanted it so bad.... |

| I must be slower than a stock 36 pulling a grade. I took far too long looking at the lower left side of the bus. |

Me too, I was looking at the left side rocker and thinking well it looks super clean and rust free, maybe they wanted a nice Bus with no rot.

Poster for Outlaw Music Festival.
The gig travels all over with different stars. Latest was Billy Strings, Bob Dylan, and Willie Nelson. |

| Festival is in the PNW this weekend, first Spokane on Thursday, then the Gorge on Saturday, and then Ridgefield on Sunday. Ironically, Willy and Billy won't be breaking the law! |

I assume they mean because pot is legal in Oregon - thus Strings and Nelson will NOT be outlaws here.

| Yes, Willy and Billy are not shy about using marijuana. Here in Washington state it is legal, unlike their home states. Weed shops are like 7-11’s around here. I’m certain a few of them will be graced with their presence. |

Birdfish Brewery and Jim’s Custom VW’s collaboration for the Sumer Buckeye German Jubilee. Great east coast show, cool brewery and great idea to get people across town after leaving the show. All in Columbiana, Ohio.

Yes, but you have to admit that as this type of “Art” shows up on things this one is pretty accurate, except for the height obviously.

I looked at it more closely and I agree, they did a good job with the doors and windows and overall features and it looks Mango to me.
Plus seeing that sort of thing out in the wild is always exciting.

There is a local artist who frequented the store when it was located Downtown that drives an early Mango camper. I have no idea if that was the inspiration. I’m 99% sure it is not his art work. He is so much better than that.
Here he is from 2020.

I tried not to elevate because of it being my 65 only colors. But that failed. It is really good under all conditions. Hazy IPA, 6.5% by Vol. is nice work.
