We traveled across New England and into Canada, crossed into Michigan and the upper Great Lakes States to bring you stories from folks who have had an adventure or two in a VW Bus. This season we’ve met collectors, mechanics, businesswomen, and more than a few roadtrippers. You can listen to all the episodes wherever fineContinue reading “Season 4 is live!”

Made it to Minnesota (again)
Neil is a beast. A road warrior. Cannonball Run has got nothing on him. We made it to Minnesota just as the sun went down and the temperature with it. We pushed the bus off the trailer in subzero temperatures. As I pushed the bus up the driveway, I slipped on the ice and NeilContinue reading “Made it to Minnesota (again)”
Podcast: Eric
We sat down with Eric Caron, organizer of West River Westies, in his home in southern Vermont after a weekend of hanging out with him and his friends whom you met in the previous episode. He’s had a lifetime of bus adventures and the wisdom to go with it.
Neil’s here!
Neil arrived! We haven’t seen our dear friend and one-time roommate since we rolled through Ohio after the last engine rebuild. As I mentioned yesterday, he is about to cart us and the bus all over the damned country.
The kindness of our friends
Maybe you’ve noticed some backsliding on our blog as of late. That’s because we had a major breakdown. I’ll spare you all the technical stuff and just say this: a part broke in the engine that will be a major and not-easy repair. For those of you playing along at home, this is the secondContinue reading “The kindness of our friends”
The Forgotten Coast
Head north and west from just about all of Florida and you’ll find our favorite region in the Sunshine State—the Forgotten Coast. Last time I posted, we had visited Cedar Key—a cool, laid-back town with plenty of places to relax. Well, we moved a little farther up the coast, around the bend and into theContinue reading “The Forgotten Coast”
Podcast: Art and Paula
We were traveling through Southern Vermont when we were invited to hang out around the campfire with some VW Bus area celebrities. Check out this unedited literal fireside chat with these folks.
Cedar Key
After my post lamenting the tourism of Key West, our Miami driveway host, a VW guru named Ian, told us that we would find old Florida at Cedar Key. I wasn’t exactly sure if Old Florida really existed or not and I felt a little like Ponce De Leon chasing after a mythical place whileContinue reading “Cedar Key”
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.
Illness on the road
Vanlife is not what AAA would have you believe. Sure the ads they post on Facebook with the shirtless guy and the woman who is always inexplicably holding on to her big, floppy hat make it look like something from a glamor shoot. They drink coffee from mugs and he has a little teak trayContinue reading “Illness on the road”
