So here we are traveling at 496 mph , flying at 3,407 feet on our way to another adventure. How did we get here? I guess I need to go way back to my first encounter. It happened in 1997 at a little coffee shop I managed. A customer home from college, came in all…
We arrived in San Francisco, CA a little later than originally planned. Having spent most of the afternoon of our first day with the bus outside of Reno, NV making some additions and changes. Mostly, I needed to install a 12v plug so I can power up my Navigation and keep my Smart Phone charged….
Last night we set up camp in Trinidad, CA at Elk Country RV. It’s a bit of a run down place, but what it lacks in amenities it makes up for in location. And that would be being smack dab in the middle of the Largest Roosevelt Elk Herd on the West Coast.
DAY ONE: November, 1, 2013 We pulled into Eugene last night around 5:30pm. Our first stop was at The No Name Garage to see Miles. Miles has been around VW’s all his life as his Dad was a VW Mechanic. Miles and his mechanics not only know VW’s inside and out, they know Buses. Most…
“With Each Day Brings a New Beginning” November 3, 2013 We started off this morning or rather late morning as it was about 11:30, just south of Eugene, OR. I did not start off fine. First I must say that I was quite impressed with Deerwood RV Park. Though it was built for the “Big…
Woke up after a productive night at Dale and Colleen’s home in Olympia, WA. The night before, Colleen had shown me how to tweak my blog and get things set up better. I can now blog from my phone and post photo albums a bit better including a new slideshow feature. After some breakfast, I…
There are days when you sight see and experience amazing beauty…then there are days like today where you witness the kindness of another human. I met Stuart on line less than a month ago. Outside of the bus and his interest in my purchase, we knew nothing about each other. Until last night, we had…

Today we needed to break camp and get to the Ferry Dock in Port Angeles, WA by 7:45am so…
After redoing yesterday’s blog after a glitch caused us to lose about an hour’s worth of work and picture uploads, I fed Lexie and made some pancakes (which come out so much better on the cast iron griddle now). We had plenty of time to relax. I didn’t need to pull out of the RV…
November 10, 2013 Leavenworth, WA 132,004.1 (yes we’ve put 2000 miles on Sandy already) We camped last night in a little nothing much campground which was perfect as we were arriving after dark and not sticking around for sightseeing so it was convenient (right off the ferry) and cheep and quite friendly. I even met…
