FL to Mudapaluza 8

« on: April 24, 2006, 09:23:17 AM »
I've owned my bus for 14 months now... this was the first time I took it out of state. It really was a great feeling to drive it all that way, the bus performed flawlessly, meaning I had to have done **something** right when I built that engine last year. Every time I stopped I had people come up to me and talk about the bus. I don't mind that, but when I am trying to get a quick bite to eat or running for the bathroom at a rest area it can be quite annoying to be stopped!

Driving through Atlanta is worse every time I go through. no one is considerate that you are in your lane and they should stay in theirs... no, they want the position you are in in your lane RIGHT now. how inconsiderate. That's the worst part of the whole trip.

I didn't have a single problem... that's what happens when you come prepared for anything I think. I did see a ladies tire blow out right in front of me in the next lane over... kinda scary (cause i thought she might lose control and hit my bus!)... glad it wasn't me... I didn't use a drop of oil in the 900 miles either! and the bus rolled over to 139,xxx miles!

I had a great time up there... mud and all... I could have done without the wet feet and mud in the bus tho... Was good to see old friends and make some new ones. Hopefully I will see you all next year!

We're glad you made it to BP8 VWGirl. Even though it was wet and muddy we feel the show went well. We do appreciate any constructive critism if you have any. If we don't know what's broke, we can't fix it.

Atta girl-don't let a little mud stop you lol... Remember,
 anyone can ride around in their living room at 70MPH on
 level ground in nice weather; it takes someone who WANTS
 to be there to do what you did. Hope you liked the trip
will enough to come see us for  Bug'n in July!

funny it was the one time all day i didnt run in to you! i looked for you... but i needed to get on the road... i figured i would get in touch with you somehow!

I have no complaints of the show. It was the best show i have been to in a LONG time... I mean Bug Jam weekend is great... but I guess this is just a change of scenery... and a road trip in a bus! Wish someone else from FL would have gone... I think I was the ONLY one there from FL.

I need to camp more often... per Travis I HAVE to go to high country... will see what i can do!

hope to see you all again soon!
