When two working VWs meet

Two VW women working on different projects, yet both using their vintage 1971 VW buses to tell stories, met at San Jose State University on 23 April 2012. Here you can see Julia Weber’s ‘Mr Orange der Story-Bus’ and Carole Brown’s ‘The YesWeCan CamperVan’ getting close and sharing some thoughts on future possibilities!  Maybe they’re [...]

Midwest responsiveness

I’m trying to work out my itinerary for the trip from Massachusetts to the west coast. So far I’m not even sure about the route, since it depends on which VW clubs I can get most support from for the MG Awareness campaign. Interestingly the most responsive MG charity in the nation has been the [...]

Possible sponsor for our road trip across America this fall??

What do you think …. Would the bright orange VW buses seen in the fun video below, look good as a logo on the side of The YesWeCan CamperVan? I think they’d look great and I love cheddar cheese, too! Tillamook is the nearest I can find to my favorite English mature cheddar. So if you [...]

‘Buses by the Bridge XV’

It says number 14 (XIV) on the welcome entrance sign, but it definitely was the 15th (XV) time that Buses by the Bridge has been held in Lake Havasu, Arizona, by the London Bridge Bullis to raise money for local children.  

The VW Family

Look at the tabs above the header and van picture and you will see a new page added today called Family. On it I write: “This page is a later addition because before owning a VW and making this road trip, I would never have known the beauty and wonderment of the VW camper family. I [...]

Independence Day

Apparently he grew apples and tended poultry here in the summer, and in winter he went across country to California to farm there. East coast and [...]

Midday midway ramblings from the heart(lands)

I can’t let the June go by without at least one post, but I’ve been a bit lost for words after writing about the significance of the Run for the Wall bike ride last month. What does seem significant though is that last Sunday, 20 June, the day I finally started the drive from California to [...]

They made it

[With a special dedication to my Dad ***] Since I left the ‘Run for the Wall’ ride from LA to DC *, I have been thinking about the riders each day and praying for their safety. And whenever I could find a wi-fi connection, I’d follow virtually by reading the blog of one of the [...]

Run for the Wall 2010 – getting ready May 18th

Riding across the USA for Memorial time in DC

Remember I told you I was on a journey and was going to allow myself to be led by the powers above? Every time I have been unsure on this road trip and have not known exactly where I am going next, I am sent a messenger. Yesterday’s messenger came in the guise of a [...]
