Your far out tour guide, Amanda, first moved to Monterey from the Bay Area to attend CSU Monterey Bay. Subsequent to graduating, she fell in love with the area and decided to start something hip and fun for the community. After a slough of ideas, it came down to her finding a super “groovy” couch on craigslist and the idea transcended from there. Piece by piece the Groovy Grape Escape was born and 6 months later - it’s ready to boogie!
The grooviest part about the bus coming into fruition is 80% of the materials were up-cycled. Think fallen over old growth redwood fence turns into rustic 70s wainscoting. Leftover trim from a spec house project was sanded and stained into ornate crown molding. And an old headboard along with leftover plywood becomes two far out bench seats! Labor of love, Baby!
Hop aboard and join us on a totally tubular tour!
