I don't know whether to think this is cool or just sad. On the one hand, there's a Mystery Machine apparently permanently parked in front of our Northwest Reno McDonald's.
On the other, it appears someone is - or has been - living in it. I'd be inclined to guess they're burner types who didn't quite make it out of the area, as planned, since I first started seeing this van around the time of Burning Man.
That, and the bikes.
I'm half tempted to dig further into this creepy, spooky mystery for the hell of it. I'll fill you in on what I find.
