i lived and worked at sugarbush for 2 years.
i first moved there in oct, while it was still real quiet. i had a 67 dormobile i had just spent a lot of the summer doing a lot of body work to.
i lived in it while i was securing a place to live.
i found a condo slopeside, no more then a week later i woke to walk to work and the bus was gone. someone stole the dormobile, and all my possessions.
they robbed a ski shop with the bus as a get away vehicle (wicked smart) then they left all the doors open and sent it into a ravine where it met a tree, and with the support of the doors missing, well it completely crushed the whole thing.
I had to pay the recovery fee so i could get what ever "non valuable stuff" they left behind, then the State police told me to let them know if i ever found out who did it.
LOCK YOUR BUS while your there.

looks like once you get through the dakotas there'll be killer courses abound.
MI, WI & OH are really the disc golf "heartland" of america.

Very true comment.

When you drive through northern Indiana, there are at least 6 disc courses within 20 minutes of 90.

This one, just over the border in Michigan, is one of my favorites.

Look forward to following your cross country travels! Good luck!

Yeah, two years old is awfully young, especially for road trips. Good luck on that front alone Shocked


Fortunately, I will have a friend riding with us to Vermont. Then my son and I will be picking up my wife when she is done with school in Maryland for the second half of the trip. Cool

well I'll pass along our local Disc golf courses and club here in Central NY
http://www.cnydga.org/courses/

I have taken the VW Club out to both our Jamesville & Green lakes locations.
the Jamesville,NY location is a LONG shots and some woods some very open.
the Green lakes State park locaion is short, and quite nice. deer are in the nearby fields and Green Lakes State park is a unique natural feature/wonder as it's a plunge pool basin and a Meromictic lake, where the water is a vibrant green hue

If you do come thru CNY and stop to play, let me know and I'll see what I can gather from the local VW community to join. Both in awareness & in Disc golf fun.

Dan

If your path leads you thru or across Upstate Central NY (via I-90) let me know and the VW CLub of Central NY will offer any assistance & hospitality that we can.
Pmail me [email protected] and we'll keep an eye out.
sugerbush, VT is quite a few hours via classic VW. so if you're in need of a lay over let me/us know we're mainly in the greater Syracuse, NY region. we have many great campgrounds & scenic routes if you want travel information. (a favorite route of mine to VT is via NY rt365 to Rt8 then across the Essex,NY ferry into VT)

Yes, what is your approximate travel path? I'm in Manhattan Kansas, and as always my home is open to the wayward VW traveler. I've had a couple stay in the past. I'm sure this is true of many Samba members. If you will be going through the area, send me and IM.
