SMB Sightings: SC and OH

[cyberspaeth]

I just got back from my "maiden voyage", a tour of the Southeast. After a year of waiting to quit work, then dealing with rust / mechanical issues it was a joy to finally make a real test run (3000 miles worth). The van was very good but not flawless - I have a few more things to address before the next run.

Near Congaree National Park in Orangeburg, South Carolina I spotted a 1970-something Ford van with a penthouse roof. Spoke to the owner briefly - he sells tee shirts out of it and wants to modify the van to actually print the tees inside. Unfortunately I didn't get any pics or verify with absolute certainty it was a Sportsmobile, but I'm convinced it was. I don't think the owner knows what he has.

Then on Halloween, the anniversary of my acquiring my rig, I spotted a new ('09 or '10) Ford SMB in my own Cincinnati neighborhood! Chatted with the owner at a stop light but didn't get any contact info. So if you're out there, or any other Cincy SMB owners, please give me a shout.

Steve.
