First, a big “thanks!” to Greg in particular, and the rest of the Potts family and friends who made this event happen. I was really happy to hear Greg say it will be back next year! I hope y’all can make it… As usual, a lot of corn was eaten, a lot of firewood (and […]

Basecamp at the Alexian Brothers Tour of Elk Grove
It was an interesting trip getting here, sorting out logistics and figuring out where I might end up along the way. Nothing worked out quite as expected, it’s all working out fine though. And before I go any further… if any of the Vanagon volks in the area are intending to come to the race […]
Buses of le Tour
One of the many stories of this trip is based on the many campers and buses that form a part of the experience. I’ve gone through my photos and picked out a small gallery of bus photos… most are VWs, the ones that aren’t are still part of the story and experience. Here are a […]
From Camper Land to Wonder Land…
Surrounded by massive campers, listening to bingo by the beach… that was camper land. And for some reason the Quebecois love their camping, good on ’em! I was happy to be there for the night, my second visit to Lake Louise (thousands of miles and around 40 years between them). I woke up, had a […]
A weekend of Buses, Bikes and a birthday

Day one to Fayetteville
441 miles, a mixed bag of weather, and watching the odometer roll over to 100,000 miles… not a bad start. I’m parked in a rest stop in Piqua, Ohio which is just north of Dayton. The day has been a mix of rain, sun, clouds and more rain… at the moment it’s rains steadily and […]
One Trip, part of One Month
Back.Back to Toronto, back to the cool temps of early spring up here, back after a nice trip.Back, and already planning the next trip. It was a nice long week away, and the change on the way down was very noticeable! Warmer, greener, more spring-like. A day’s drive took us through Ontario, New York, Pennsylvania […]
On The Road, Trip One
Finally! On the road, at last. It’s been quite a while in the planning and this is the first trip in the list of possible trips. The next couple are already set too (more on that later). I had Babe in to get an oil change, and Dave looked at the small oil leaks from […]
Getting some opportunities, looking forward to exploring them
Photography: I’ve spent the past while organizing my time and putting it together on a calendar to share with the community I’m getting deeper into. And I’ve already gotten some positive feedback on events I thought were questionable… if I can get enough interest to cover expenses I’m all set to go. I know this […]
