The Bus - The original Tres Hombres Mule
The first vehicle for our trips was a 1970 VW Bus which belonged to Drew's brother, Dave. A very reliable and sure footed transport, the Bus could go almost anywhere a 4x4 could. The picture above was taken in the Spring of 1986 at the Scotty's Castle gas station, Death Valley National Monument, CA. Our first trip out as a trio. Erik took this picture as Drew checks the engine bay. Barry can be seen securing the load.
This sketch represents the "Desert Bus" concept which was shelved after it was decided to go with a more "modern" mode of transportation of acquired 4x4 vehicles.
