Farewell, Missoulaneous VWs

We left Missoula last last weekend for the slightly sunnier (Anaconda vs. Missoula) lower Warm Springs Creek Valley and so far, so good.

This bus is a Missoula fixture. It used to have a Kentucky rear plate and an Ontario (?) front plate, but now it looks like its legal situation is all straightened out.
From the rear. See? Matching tags.

1974 Passenger

We talked to this guy briefly at the light but I don't remember what he had to say except that he'd been on the road for quite some time. I'm sorry to say it (he seemed like a nice guy), but Beautiful British Columbia is probably a little more beautiful when this bus is elsewhere.

On the other hand, I really like this color.
This might be one of the most visible buses in Montana, sitting right off I-90 Westbound at about milemarker 123 near Clinton (right here in fact) as it does. I doubt many bay window owners have driven by it without noticing.

I always knew when I saw the bus I had just a little further to go...a happy memory...
