As luck would indicate, the roof removed was probably full of those little windows and a sunroof. |
It was in Scotts Valley, just up the hill from Santa Cruz.
Isn't there a thread on that bus?

People smoked underway and used the ashtrays too. I wonder how many ember burns there are and fire-in-the-eyes. |

You sound like you're from Georgia. Only place I've heard of non-coke drinks described as Coke. 
Coke, pop, soda, soft drink. It's funny how this simple drink has so many names, just within the US.

Not Georgia, but close. This was typical conversation when I was back in the South.
Hey, you won’t a coke?......Yep, I could sure stand one.....Alright, what flavor you won’t ? ....... I’ll take the pepsi kind, if you got it.
And a VW bus is a ......Vokes wagging van or, alternatively, a Voltz wagging van
And camper buses are all Westa-feelya’s. And the guitarist for the British rock band Cream? That’s Erk Clampton, of course. |
