fellow Bus-Nuts to meet, show off rigs, enjoy good company, acquire new ideas and make new friends all of whom share a common interest.

• Darrell Passer and Gene Lewis liked the concept and decided to carry it on. May was determined to be a great time of the year to have A Bus-Nuts Gathering.

• Today Gene & Frances are caring on the Annual Bus-Nuts Gathering.

• It was a time of relaxing and enjoying good food and friends.
