shhhh... we don't want to disturb it in its natural habitat. Gently tag it, weigh it, and release it back into the wild.

You'll noticed the spots & marking are very unique to every animal... Almost like a fingerprint. No two buses are identical and they all produce a different scent.

Hey! On a little side note of little interest.....

Ever see the big round oil spot on the highway when you're driving?
Brace yourself.... You're gonna hit a bump before you drive over the oil spot!

Not only is the bus adorable, that view is gorgeous! Alaska may be a place to definitely visit.

Looks like a lot of tourist shopping bags...


Lower Missouri was beautiful when I went up there Wednesday evening.

Page Arizona is still my first skoolie planned trip.

Poteau!!! Yeah! You are close to my old home....fairly. I'm an old Adair County boy.
I'm new to the sight but learning all I can. We live in Alaska and have just started working on the bus. Will post pics later when I get clearance or figure out how.
