Had a flat 80 miles west of Yuma yesterday:
Fixed it faster that a NASCAR pit crew and 30 minutes later the spare blew out as well. Lost a total of 3 hours on the trailer tires.
Got to the CamPbodian Compound last night and rolled the bus off the trailer, up the drive way and the bus was dug into to see if the shifting issues could be diagnosed and fixed.

Hit Cunado's favorite VW parts shop and got a adjustable shift coupler and then proceeded with surgery.
we think this was the problem:
Vince is leaving now to gas up and shakedown any adjustments. Meeting up with a Barnie Carabus up the I5 around lunch time to Nicks.

Niels, That's the shot, right there.
Can't wait to see that angle from your big camera.
Barndoors dissappearing in the distance.
Amazing show, I'm proud to have been a part of it.
Thank You to Johnnie, Charlie, and the OCTO crew for organizing this.
