I figured the bay window folks have their wonderful forum topic titled "Let's see some bus and wilderness pics", but the splitty folks do not. Why not?! So lets see some pics of you taking your split buses off the beaten path! Splits in the woods, mountains, desert, plains, at the river, etc. It would be nice to consolidate the stories, videos, and pics so that we all can enjoy each others adventures. I'll start:

Nice! I need to dig up some old photos and scan them in from years back...this is the only one I have digitally - it's from a friend's farm out in the middle of nowhere...(notice how I keep a clear distance from the vanagons)
Can't wait to get my incoming 15s cleaned up & get some better tires on there... _________________ <---Air Cooled Search & Rescue Team - STICKERS & T-shirts for sale!

Truckersmike took this awesome pic of my truck:
'56 westy last month in a local national forest:
from the clear cut, parked in the same spot as the above pic:

Thanks Kris. It needed to be done!
That pic was on my desktop for a long time. Didn't know it was your old bus 'till now. Badass! Your an old school backroadbuser, eh?
Great pictures everyone! Now I can stop scanning the gallery for pics and just use this thread for a supply desktop background images . _________________ 1963 SO-34 camper

Great Thread!
Here's some pics of a surf trip to Baja with my '65 deluxe. These were taken in 1995.
