He is at rest. Patiently awaiting his departure from the South Denver Metropolitan Area. His Blueness slowly fading with every minute of the intense Colorado sunshine. He basks in the sun, soaking up the rays hoping he never forgets what it feels like. For he knows that all too soon his days will be spent in the Alaskan climate, bombarded by overcast days full of rain. And so he waits.
He knows that he will never again have passengers of the high quality he will carry to the Yukon wilderness. He has accepted this and looks forward to this epic journey from the lower 48 states to our nation's 49th. Until then, he sleeps.
Following are a few pictures of Big Blue in all his glory. Notice the sleek contour of his body. The pleather seats that shape to your body to offer the utmost in comfort The sliding door on the passenger side allows easy exit and entry for all passengers. Also be sure not to overlook the seemingly endless window space. These characteristics, along with his ample storage space, enable Big Blue to offer a group of 9 adventurous souls going from Denver to Anchorage everything they could ask for in the chosen mode of transportation.
What's in store for us? Only he knows!

When I first saw the pictures of Big Blue I thought that maybe she needed to be “gussy’d up a lil bit! Maybe decorate her with some bright polka-dots or flowers- put up some curtains in the windows-give her that down home feel. Then it hit me. A vintage vehicle like Big Blue could have quite possibly missed out on the fun as a youngster and maybe this is her chance to live it up one last time by making this epic trip with a group of young adventurers! It totally made me think of Blue from Old School! Big Blue is Blue. Be careful, don’t push him to try and keep up with those young fancy vans and for gosh-sakes keep him out of the mud! I am requesting at your final stop, when Big Blue has done his job, that you have a ceremony, a tribute, to Big Blue and all join hands and sing Dust in the Wind by Kansas.
