Re: somewhereinUSA out and about
Just got back from a weekend with my son and his wife at an Indiana state park. The new temporary shower was a hit with my wife. Here are a few pictures. I also got the flag pole mounting done for the front. Son's bus is the MCI on the right.
Group shot
Scott was the cook for the weekend. He does a lot more camping and is more set up for it.
The camp site
I'm a tired and happy camper, much hiking involved.

Too much fun! How about some pics of your shower set up. Jack

Leaving tomorrow for the annual GLCC (Great Lakes Converted Coaches) surplus rally.Three days of looking for"stuff"at the surplus stores, getting ideas, telling lies. I'm not really looking for anything, but you never know. I got some really good deals last year.

Re: somewhereinUSA out and about
We'll be thinking of you. See what kind of deal you can find in a roll up awning.

Scott,Tami,Janice and I are at the first Bus Grease Monkey Rally in Indianapolis.
Here is a link to a web page I started for it. I'll clean it up and add names as I get them and time. Probably safe for work or anywhere else you happen to be lurking.

Dick,
I really love the photos!! You did a great job of laying them out. Please add more when you can. I'm glad to see an assortment of buses, not just coaches.

I just added a second page to the pictures of the BGM Rally in Indy. Cleaned up the first page too.

Re: somewhereinUSA out and about
I'm on my last trip for the year, might be longer than expected. Had a photo shoot last weekend and stayed this week to visit with friends, do some dancing and work on dog training. Seems I might have made a bad decision. It's about 7 inches last night and still snowing. Mumsywumsy is not happy if I don't make it home for thanksgiving.
The infloor radiant heat works great. It's toasty warm in here and I haven't gotten all of my insulation done yet, very little in ceiling. Just going by feel, the water temp at the end of the loop is cooler than that going in but, still too hot to hold your hand on. The longest loop is the coolest. My infrared temp gauge took a crap so no real measurements.
Got a lot of good dog work in, and went dancing two nights, decided not to dance in Madison tonight, it's 80 miles away.
Here's a pic of the bus, with Molly moving the sheep up to get water.
Molly bringing another group up.
Not planning on leaving until Monday, supposed to get above freezing.

Re: somewhereinUSA out and about
I just returned from a vintage bus rally. At only 26 years old mine was one of the newest, cutoff was 25 years. There were 6 Scenicruisers there. More than I have ever seen in one spot. Here's an overhead view of most of them.
Here's a video of the parade through town to end it all.

My sons bus is the red white and blue MCI 12 at minute 7:03 mine is the white and blue Bluebird right behind the London double decker at 9:15
Gorgeous 1931 Mack
And finally a couple of pictures I took of the solar eclipse last month in Tennessee.

Re: somewhereinUSA out and about
What a fabulous display of old buses .
Thanks for the video link , I liked the little cluster of Flxible Clippers
The vintage Mack , the KB-6 Inter , the Chevy , the Fageol (?) , what a great display . Did you get a total count of buses attending?

Haven't gotten the official count, we think somewhere around 70.
