if it hadn't been for those meddling kids...

Well it looks like Shag and the crew abandoned the van for good. On the way back from the cabin I finally decided to take a picture of the old Mystery Machine. This van has been on the side of the road for years near the Ocoee River, site of the 1996 Olympics white water rafting event.

I have no idea why it's there, but it gives me a good chuckle everytime I see it. If it hadn't been so muddy I would have taken a photo of the other side which is in better shape. We also pass The Purple Bus on this same road. It's a big bus painted bright purple and it serves as a jewelry and bead store. There are twinkling lights inside and, I'm sure, one terribly eclectic person. Maybe next time I'll talk hubby into stopping.
