Buffalo Bob!


One of the latest projects Jess and I have done together is the touching up of the murals on Buffalo Bob that we painted in the summer of 2005. It took about three weekend days for the touch ups to be completed. The best pictures we have of what the truck looked like before the touch ups were those taken of the truck taken when we went camping the last part of June. The buffalo were really fading. The red seems to be the first color to dim in the sun over time.

In the summer of 2005 Jess and I decided to paint prairie murals on our former U-Haul truck. We absolutely love the Midwest and it's scenery. Jess painted the backgrounds including the sky and the land. He also drew the Ham Shack and antenna. He painted the clouds and stenciled the "Buffalo Bob" name and our call signs. I drew the buffalo, grass, flowers and windmill. We had lots of fun working together on Buffalo Bob in 2005 and 2008.
