Driggs Base

The place where I park my Trpta bus is actually the old Driggs Public Works lot where I keep company with snow plows, graders and Start buses. I’ve got a little cubbie hole carved out where I can plug in some electric to my block heater at night, that I used to share it with Karen, but she parks her rig in Victor now.

Driggs was founded in 1888 by Benjamin and Don Driggs and this Public Works lot has been around since 1916, which means it will be a hundred years old in a couple of years.

An interesting side-note, two of my regular customers are an old guy named Driggs who lives in a nursing home and his daughter who lives down the street from him. This valley definitely has history and I guess I’m becoming part of it.
