My wife & I are on a long weekend / work trip through the northeast:
Utica, NY>
Scranton, PA>
Swanzey, NH>
Lake Winnepesaukee, NH>
Utica, NY
We have a red ‘71 Westy, that’s more or less stock.
Ran into an issue en route to NH (in a biblical storm on Fri night) where we smelled a little burning rubber & then the engine got much louder & unhappy sounding. Pulled over, check oil, looked for obvious signs (ie. Anything from a fire to oil splattered all over the engine bay), but nothing really turned up. Assumed exhaust issue & treaded lightly for remainder of that leg.
In AM light, I could see that the right side of the exhaust had come loose (& was missing one of the studs) & in shaking loose, also separated from the heater book at the sleeve.
Fortunately, I was about 15mi away from John’s Car Corner in Westminster, VT. I drove over & met w/ John & 2 of his buddies. They diagnosed the problem quickly, got me a few parts, explained all I needed to know & do & sent me on my way. (All fixed in hotel parking lot 😂).
I know this is long (TLDR) - but wanted to give a little shout out to John’s Car Corner for his help & knowledge. Wish I had more time to sit & chat (& drool over all the VW stuff in his ‘corner’)

I wasn't happy when my husband retired and decided to drive across the country and back in his old VW Bus. But I gave him a camera and a shot list and we ended up having a great time documenting his travels (and travails, lol).
I hope you enjoy this video of the trip from Massachusetts to California...

And the trip home again...

Thank you for sharing your husband's journeys - I finally took a quiet moment and watched - great! |

Hello all,
My buddy and I are spending a week driving our buses from New Jersey to West Virginia to do some camping. We want to drive half way and find a camp spot off of Highway 220 bordering Pennsyvania and Maryland, has anyone camped in this area or know of any spots, the more desolate the better
Thank you
Tom |

Hey all,
Some of you may already know, but my wife, our pup and I have been attempting to drive the Pan American Highway with interesting results.
We have had some slight detours, but wanted to bring you on our journey and hopefully inspire you to get out there and travel, as well.
IG: @our.overlanding.journey
We are currently in the U.S., but are heading to Mexico soon to have our baby. Send us love, peace and happiness while we head to Mexico
and eventually continue on the Pan American Highway. Look forward to meeting you all and seeing you out there during our travels. |
