Nice idea for a topic. Every time I've crossed state lines in the summer I'm always running too hot to stop the airflow. I'm air-cooled too, you know. I actually don't think I've ever crossed a state line in the winter…

This is the only one I got on our last vacation.

I wanted to get the one going into Washington, but we were on the interstate and figured they would frown on us pulling over, specially because of the location it was in wasn't the best.

This is from a trip last spring break where we took some kids to the Omaha zoo. If you look closely, there's an additional cranky teenager still in the bus! Smile

I'm mostly blocking the Welcome to Nebraska sign. You can just see a couple letters behind my head.

Great idea for a thread, how about opening it up to any VW?

at some country borders you are not very welcome to make photos... Crying or Very sad
in this case I ask the two soldiers with machine guns controlling the truck driver behind my bus to make a photo without them...

Great idea for a thread! Shame it's such a nightmare finding the pictures in my gallery! New Years resolution: label my Samba uploads a little better! Embarassed
These are all from our epic Kombi road trip to Croatia a couple of summers ago...

If there was a competition for the most country symbols on a signpost, this would be a contender! Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovenia and Italy!

Doesn't really count, but made me laugh when I saw it again. The cat looking for the geographical centre of Belgium!...

Hey thats me! I planned on adding my pictures to this thread, but you saved me the work! Pretty sad, I live in Iowa, and have driven the bus into Nebraska, Minnesota, Kansas, and Missouri literally hundreds of times, and never thought to take pics with the signs until after I took that last road trip.. Now I have to! Not to mention all the new states I plan to hit this summer...

This is the only time I bothered to stop and take a state line photo; I had to check the oil anyway.

Aww, man. Just a couple of years ago I finally visited my last state (Vermont), making it 50/50. I did not take photos. Sad Now I have to start all over again! Rolling Eyes
