No pot stashed but pot smell for years in our 74 Westfalia; all manner of
men's clothes were left behind, including underwear, and all
receipts/parking tickets for a cross-country trip following the Dead,
including a Grateful Dead sticker on a side window.  We found a lot of
change.  Found a new jar of jam.  We bought this bus at the junkyard with a
dead engine; we were told it was abandoned by Deadheads when their trip was
done and the engine quit in the east bay area of San Francisco Bay.  It
actually took my mother several days of cleaning to get all the clothing
and personal items out of the bus.
