In Homer, on Ocean Drive, is the Fresh Sourdough Express bakery. In front, by the sign, is an old Chevrolet van painted green-blue.

The truck is a standard delivery step van, with a cubic shape and a slightly slanted windshield. The doors appear to slide open, and there is a large entrance in the rear. There is a small side window. In general, the van is in fair shape, with rust along several seams. I don't know if it can run under its own power, but the truck does still have a license plate on it - though I don't believe that it's current. There are bricks against the rear tires that indicate that it doesn't go out often if it does move.

On the side of the truck are a couple signs. One is for the name of the bakery. The other states a little history about the van:

"The Original Fresh Sourdough Express - Est. in 1982
This van baked its way up the Alaska Highway. The proprietors Donna and Kevin Maltz welcome you. Enjoy!"
