My favorite thread to follow... Here are a few photos I took on Shasta '21. Not sure if they count here, but the river crossing stuff is too good...

Snowbank Mountain, Idaho. This was a fairly sketchy trip with loads of steep parts that I needed first gear for. Also the bus not starting at the top was a bit stressful but hey, we both made it back in one piece. I actually lost a hubcap on the way up and a guy in an ATV picked it up and gave it to me at the top of the mountain! Strangers can be amazing.

Beautiful pictures. Are you running a wood burning stove in your bus? _________________ Prosit!

Thank you! And yes there's a cubic stove inside for cold mornings. The previous owner threw a diesel heater inside as well but I prefer the romance of fire. _________________ 1967 Riveria Camper |

Never heard of or seen one before, but why would I living here in San Diego. I always carried a small suitcase filled with cold weather clothes in for my winter camping trips. _________________ Prosit!

Would be cool to see a thread started on that 67 camper, sounds like it has some interesting features _________________ 1958 Dove Blue DD Panel

A battery-powered CO alarm is a good idea for a bus with a woodstove. I had a stove in the bus back in the seventies and I wished then that an alarm was available. It doesn't take much going wrong for a bus to fill up with CO. It's also good for checking the integrity of your heater boxes in the fall when you first turn them on. |
