Just did a fall cruise with 50 bugs on Bear Mountain with 50 Bugs - the Cruise was organized by Chris Vallone of Classic VW Bugs.

50 miles north of NYC, above the Hudson, Bear Mountain Bridge .

Last Sat. We surprised hundreds of Spectators, they were in shock. They just keep firing away on their Phone Cameras My photos suck, due my trying to hold a old camera and drive and shift.

My wife saw it and freaked out " you were on a mountain with few rocks keeping you from going off and driving with one hand" !!

Bug Guy , well you may be happy to hear this Chris Vallone I know for years and I am going to miss him on my visits to his shop about a mile from my home.

He has plans to move to Fl. So that was most likely his last fall Cruise in NY.

You will have him. Sorry I think you don't have any mountains except up north. so go coast to cost. 50 cars in NY, I would think in the south you guys can do 100 or more.

Still he will organize something I am sure. Great guy, if you can give him a visit.

He will be sad if he is anywhere near me. There is nothing here. Little more action in Orlando though from what I'm told.

For sure! I was a sheltered boy from nowhere Iowa. What a culture shock!
But man, it sure is nice not to be freezing anymore. I don't care if I ever see snow again!

I’m sure our Volkswagen engines say the same thing. Very Happy

There's more to do VW wise near you than just about anywhere in Fl. One of the biggest VW shows is in Port Orange in April and so is the oldest running VW bus events in the country. Not to mention Volusia V-Dubs which do things every month.
