Here are two photos that Dan Kirby and his wife were kind enough to let me post. Dan and his wife are professional photographers, as you can see with these beautiful pictures. This bus belongs to them. I found these photos at this link.

Here is the Russian camping truck.

i woonder where in maine that bus is

Steve, I see that you noticed the license plate. I have no info. Perhaps you could go to the Flickr site and find out.

i will might be my neighbor

I don't know about you but it give me hope that there are some like minded folks up there in Maine

you would be happy to know de nnis that there is, get a few hrs north or west from portland . met some great people all over the state,

Splummer's bus.

It has kind of the same face that my first skoolie had. "The Strayhound"

Great sites ... love the Russians sense of humor ...
What's the Russian term for Redneck? Americans ...
Talk about 4 wheeling ... and those are the good country roads ...

A sad note ...
Today on NPR one of the discussions was on the newly increased violence against the Roma or Gypsies in eastern Europe ... much hatred directed to them, as was in the 1930's build up of fachism ... the poor economy is driving people to take revenge on the "mobile" or disconnected people of Europe ... they are baiting and murdering them ... and getting away with it ...
A sign of the times

I think Sharkey's site, and those similar, will become all the more important to those choosing a simpler, mobile lifestyle ... we're going to need to be in contact to be forewarned of similar behavior.

I think many of us are lucky to have some kind of property foothold or base to work with ... and to share with those who become needful of safe harbor.

To all those I've met through this site, hopefully this summer, when I get my lots together, you'll be welcome. Bring your cooking tools, gardening implements, fishing gear ... and more importantly ... musical instruments

Doug, Perhaps the "bus family" should gather at some location and "circle the wagons". Together, a group of people can be a formidable strength. Bring food and ammo.

If I read between the lines of the last two posts, I read,
"Jam Session!"
