Spotted sharp bay this last Friday I90 just east of of Rochester MN heading East . Nice two tone mint green and lighter color. Rare to see especially in the winter months.

I found this one in my town. It looks to be a 1968-1971 camper. I thought is was a westy but the top isn’t right or for a Riviera, it stops early. It also doesn’t have a window in rear right side. It looks to have some of the camping interior. What is it?

Spotted at PepBoys in Burbank. Often spot a bus or bug here but never the driver. They probably see me and hide.

I’ve got a feeling this is daftendirekte..

Can confirm.

Pretty sure that's the day I got those white walls mounted; stopped there to get that white-wall cleaner stuff on the way to work.

That's about all that Coors Light is good for anyway.

That columbarium is a clever idea. Unfortunate that they call it a "van" though. Very Happy

I doubt when I die at 105+ years old (that's my plan, anyway) my relatives will want to ship my ashes to Oregon.

So maybe instead I'll have them just sprinkle little bits of me throughout my Buses before they dispose of them. Preferably in nooks and crannies someplace where they all aren't likely to get cleaned out. Twisted Evil

I do assume that I will still have these Buses (and maybe some more) in 2086.

I’m visiting my grandfather in Sweden right now, this is the only bus I have seen here so far. Look like a 69 or 70, pretty cool!

March 21, 2020 at about 9pm, I saw a 72 westy with California plates headed south on 195 about to go over the Bourne Bridge towards Cape Cod. Anyone we know?
