Little & Large.
Two routes, the 123 & 150 which started off as minibuses under the legendary Bob Montgomery's era & have now spawned into high frequency full sized buses.
Cross city route 123 has seen many changes since its introduction, from minibuses to the WV class, RV's, AV's, AX's & even some VG's. Route 150 with its quirky " Rossmore " destination, has a mix of Wright WV's alongside full double deckers.
Some AV's are to be gradually re introduced onto the 123 as it prepares to go full time double decker soon.
Up above, Summehill AV 110, a veteran usually on Beaumont route 20B is seen passing out Ringsend WV 50 earlier in the week.

Leaf peeeping a highway into the Adirondack Park, near peak color. It's too bad that I chose to park as the hill began to downgrade. *Many* other folks who stopped to make pictures parked behind me. Else I would have made our leaf peeping a photo in itself.

"John Lasseter has said that the idea for Cars was born after he took a cross-country road trip with his wife and five sons in 2000. When he returned to the studio after vacation, he contacted Michael Wallis, a Route 66 historian. Wallis then led eleven Pixar animators in rented white Cadillacs on two different road trips across the route to research the film.
In 2001, the movie's working title was Route 66, but in 2002, the title was changed to prevent people from thinking it was related to the 1960 television show with the same name."

On the Panorama Route in Mpumalanga, with its breathtaking vistas around every mountain corner, waterfalls plunging down faces of sheer rock, memories of the gold rush following you as you meander down an endless river canyon, and eagles hovering above your head – you can't help walking with your head in the clouds.

Oct. 23, 2021: Stop at the California Route 66 Museum in Victorville, California. This museum opened in 1995 in the former 5,000 square foot Red Rooster Cafe building. The exhibits are constantly changed. After closure from Covid-19, the California Route 66 Museum is open Friday thru Sunday. One fun fact: The Red Rooster Cafe was used for filming the 1980 movie, "The Jazz Singer" starring Neil Diamond.
