U.S. Flag & the Van in Yuma, Arizona
The california leg of the Gun Show Loophole Tour has had great weather and good luck
Aug 4th – 8th, 2016
Stopped at an Arizona rest area, Nice spot between I-10 and Yuma
Look at the size of this girder … thats going to be a BIG building (I think)
I found a closed restaurant and parked out front
I was able to keep the doors open facing the building. No one bothered me for a few hours while I uploaded a weeks worth of podcasts (3 gigs)
Also learned I need to find Wi-Fis, or get a better (unlimited) internet solution
Some homeless guy came along and used the water faucet on the building, so I filled up the dogs water jugs and poured some on the dog to cool him down
First fill-up on the California leg of the Gun Show Loophole Tour
Between Tucson & Yuma in the desert.. really tested this one to see just how much distance I might get out of the last 1/4 tank
(I made it 36+ miles on that last 1/4 tank & there were still 9 in the tank !!)
21.26 gallons
$2.19 / gal
$46.75 total
On the way to Yuma, stopped by the Domes of Casa Grande
These weird dome shaped concrete buildings in the middle of the desert
I keep seeing this other G30 in Tucson, AZ
Its a nice one, but it has windows in back and on the sliding door
I found this photo from a satellite view of the School Maintenance yard where the van sat for years.
The van is the 4th from the left in that front row of white vehicles
I had intended to bid on the one to the right of it (east) in this photo, the one with the roof ladder-rack. But it was in much worse shape, and had imediate issues to deal with like a busted muffler, and destroyed front seats. The partition had no door, so that was a no-go for me. plus it was just a 3/4 ton..
Backing in is a MUST with this van

We saw the samples today, they look great. These will go out to supporters of the campaign, and hand outs along the route.
