The life of a bus
Before Mountain Moments was a business, it was a bus. And before it was a photo booth, it was an adventure. This is the story of how a 1970s VW bus traveled the country, sat in a driveway for twenty years, got stripped down to bare metal, and came back to life.
Year TBD — The beginning
Bought at 22
Content promptYour mom buys the bus. How old was she? Where was she living? What drew her to this particular bus? A couple sentences capturing the excitement and spontaneity of that moment.

Landing in Steamboat Springs

Time to bring it back
