apartment cars 002


i hadn't anticipated posting another one of these so soon, however opportunity and the winds of change have altered my plans. as it turns out we'll soon be leaving the friendly confines of rocklin's sunset strip, and heading for the cool breezes of bayside san leandro, from which we came some 5 years ago now. more on that later, but now let's talk about this fantastic dakota.
i almost missed it as i went strolling around the grounds the other day. in fact i wasn't even sure it would show up in a photo. but it certainly is an eye catcher. i imagine as it rolls silently along the backroads stalking elk and deer, they never have a chance. as i examined the custom camo paint a little closer i was slightly puzzled. were these leaf stencils they used or actual leaves? and why hadn't i seen this one before? is it a new arrival or had the driver been on an extended trip hiding out from atf agents?

anyway, i am curious about the owner, and hopefully i'll have a chance to run into him before we depart. with all the wildlife i've spotted around our apartments of late, i might even spot him down on the fire trail, crossbow in hand, moving in on his prey.
