While in Quebec, Canada, we met a woman named Nellie Surprenant who owns a pale blue Vanagon. While life, relationships, and even the van’s name have changed over time, her love for the VW has remained steady. Oh, and she grows some pretty amazing flowers.

We sat down with my former neighbor, Ben Abramcyz, at his house in the quaint little village of Alpha to reminisce about an epic bus trip he took nearly fifty years ago. It is a story fueled by beer.

Technical difficulties
Editing Season 4 of the podcast when Hindenburg says it needs to update. The update then makes it impossible to open the program with my current OS. Lesson to be learned here: never update a software while in the middle of a project. Next step is to update the OS and hope for compatibility andContinue reading “Technical difficulties”
Podcast: Tracy Carlucci
We sat down with a brand new bus owner, Tracy Carlucci, while we were visiting Connecticut this past September. Even though she has a brand new old bus, it’s been a long road getting here.
