The MEHVA fall foliage tour turned out to be great fun. There were three buses full of people–60 riders total. Who knew these events were so popular?

Here’s the bus I rode:

I have to be real: This wasn’t the kind of “vintage” I was expecting. These buses were around when I was a kid, which–in my mind–just makes them old. They even had some of the signs I remember from my elementary school bus-riding days:

Despite the rain, the views were lovely, though you can’t tell that from the pictures. (Hey, you try taking decent photos from inside a moving vehicle–through a rain-spattered window that won’t open.)

We stopped at the Black Diamond Bakery for lunch, and I got a chance to talk to MEHVA volunteers Jeff, John, and Warren, who gave up their Sunday afternoon to host this bus-chick friendly event.

Thanks, guys!

Next MEHVA excursion: the Christmas lights tour on December 9th. I’ll definitely be there.
