Snowing today, felt like sharing some color. This colorful hauler was seen at windy Marias Pass.

"Red Jammers are buses used at Glacier National Park in the United States to transport park visitors. While the buses are called reds, the bus drivers are called jammers because of the sound the gears made when the driver shifts on the steep roads of the park. The "jamming" sound came from the unsynchronised transmissions, where double-clutching was a must.

They were manufactured as the Model 706 by the White Motor Company from 1936-1939. The distinctive vehicles, with roll-back canvas convertible tops allow riders to enjoy the many peaks that hug the roads. Glacier National Park still operates 33 of these unique vehicles." Wikipedia

Well off to shovel snow....which I actually enjoy. Until later in the winter.....

Have a most wonderful weekend!
