Oh Man,
I've been wondering how you guys made out!!
I was lamenting for most of the time for not coming, Katie was grumpy about it m-d2, and I wasn't too happy - seeing that there was good weather when there should have been rain - dont take it the wrong way, glad the rain held out for you all for much of the time, - but I did not go cause of all the rain that was forecasted %6%
Thinking of you all, I was watching the doppler & called Jack to let him know some NASTY :icon_twisted: :icon_twisted: stuff was soon going to slam you guys ( said 40 mph winds,lightning hail, etc) just to give you warning. No answer but left message to make sure you were all buttoned down and Greg had his swimmies on :icon_tongue: . Maybe no answer cause you guys were already swimming
Glad you survived it, though I bet things were very wet.
Glad you all made it back in one piece - sorry I did not go, but we would have all crowded Jack out of his bus!
Cant wait for more pics & stories!
Matt

So Matt.... What was the surprise? We've waited long enough
-
Didn't show up... ;D Guess we'll have to wait till Flanders.

Nice new avatar Greg! Though I think you should get a busicon2 instead of upgradng the bronz))
We had great time at Granny Grose's Campout! BO** The weather was great (most of the time... and when it wasn't I just sat in the bus and drank Jim's sangria... I told you it wasn't safe to leave it with me Jim!) :cheers:, the bands were awesome (especially Boro Boogie Pickers!), good food (Jack's chili, our soup and the HUGE breakfast buffet provided by all the campers), cruisin around PA with other Vdubs drive&& (especially the "scenic route"), Yucel dancing (again) dancbanana, good friends and most of all... there were 74 buses & 5 bugs there! shocked.
Thanks guys for making this so much fun! (love

The weather was good the Company was Great as always.
I think Justin said there was 71 buses and 5 bugs. We also met a lot of very nice folks.
Sharon, made Bloody Marys for breakfast and OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!! I think she put a gal. of tabasco in the dam things. Everytime Celly had a beer he had to put some in my cup. :icon_cheesygrin:
The WORST was Yucels Pertronix Ignition burned up and welded itself to the the shaft and made junk of his dist. Lucky we had another one with us. It also changed his timing and he almost burnt up his engine it was running so hot. This was just a minor thing and we were hitting 70mph on the way home. So don't ask Celly what he thinks of Pertronix.
We decided to take the scenic route home and OH MY GOD, we made no progress at all so we finally went back to the highways. Our little trip to the back roads turned the trip home into a 7 hour ride but it was still a grreat time and we saw towns that no one else knows about. Thats counting to stops to eat. There are a LOT of little towns in dem der hills.
An old lady almost ran Machelle off the road. LAUGH@
Will have some videos and photos tomorrow.

Good job Beet :icon_thumleft: . and great to have you guys all home safe.. BO** But 7 hours to get home @7@ , where the heck did you go camping at Ohio? And just how many people drive around carring an extra Distributor with them, glade it fixed the problem and you guys got back on the road quickly. Jack stopped by my house on his way home and he really had that wood-zey tired look from the long drive&& and maybe too many of Sharrons Bloddy Marys, Sorry she had told me she was going to make them, and I forgot to warn you about them :surrender: .

I'm missing out on this camping stuff :icon_cry:. But I'm making plans for next year plus it will give me a winter project TTTT Great video & music as usuaul.

WOW, that was a good advertisement for Pertronix. !fright! I will be scratching Pertronix :icon_puke_l: :icon_puke_l: :icon_puke_l: from my shopping list.

Scarecrow - we're planning to do a local camp-out (maybe Atsion..?..) that you could join us then just drive home to sleep . I know Atsion's not far from your house! :icon_wink: The best part of camping is sitting around the campfire... some of you locals could hang for that then just drive home to sleep. (hint hint sqBk)
Bugaroo - Thanks for the warning on the Bloody Mary's... we all tried a sip and we're like !fright!
Jack - I looked at a map and your route 522 North to 61 South was actually very "west" so it was good. No worries! :icon_thumleft:
-
Oh dont tell me it wasnt raining, :icon_eek: I think you guys got hammered!
In fact if you look close at the video Yucels petronix fried due to an early lightning strike..
Hey, it's good to have an xtra distrib, in my convert I carry one, for my 55 just points/condensor
Whoa! 7 hours on the ride back! Was it the traffic or what? Were they my directions? Was Yecle pushing his bus home? Oh yea, I bet you saw quite a few of the out of the way old towns....
Really sorry I did not make it, - next time
Any pics of the events?
Greg, great music choices! & It's almost as if you mounted the camera to your dash..(?)

Matt
Matt I found out if you chose music from the before the 1960's you are in the clear. Also music that isn't so popular can also be used without youtube stripping the audio. The camera was hand held and with my elbo resting against my guy. I bought a trunk camera mount, but there wouldn't be a way for me to turn it off and on without getting out of the car, the remote that came with it doesn't have a on of switch.

Would love to join but it would be the ultimate bummer. Could not have a few beers because I would have to drive home plus I would hate to leave once I was there. I took a vacation day today and spend it on the net looking for the right camping gear that would suit me. A daunting task, the possibilities are endless. I've had one false start but I'm not going to give up.
-
I just posted some comments on the photos.
I want to say to Jim, Greg, Celly and Michelle, I was beat when I got home but would do it again in a heartbeat with you guys. (no scenic route though) :icon_cheesygrin:
I should have some movies up tonight but I'm going to cut the part showing !fright! Matts project when we went to his house on the way up. :icon_wink:
It’s not the destination, It’s the Journey getting there.
-
Let's do it again, Let's do it again. (love Still putting stuff away from the trip.
By the way, when we stopped going east on rte 61 and headed south we were about 20 miles from Knoble's.
-
$61$ Hey can I go with you guys next time? Maybe I'll have one of my Busses finially on the road.
.
-
Hey can I not go?
-
Yes you cannot go. Have you told us lately how much you hate camping. :icon_cheesygrin:

Part 1 of our camping trip. See part-2 & 3 tomorrow

Jack and Beet, that is some great video footage.
I wanted to just say how great a time I had at Granny Grose's and we also can't wait until the next big campout!
I think we should do a local campout so maybe some more folks could come out.
If Justin(steelerbus) reads this I want to send him a BIG THANKS for being such a gracious host. The bands were rockin, the people were friendly, the event was very well organized and our door prize was also super cool. I have never camped with so many buses before, that was awesome.
We could not have gone out there with a nicer bunch, thanks Jack, Greg, Jim, and Michelle for making this such a memorable weekend.

It?s not the destination, It?s the Journey getting there.
I had it locked up in my garage just in case! :icon_tongue: - I know I cant trust you one bit!

I thought that was the bus shaking. POS.
But wait a minute! I think we're missing the big picture here.
Did Yucell run out of gas?!?!
LAUGH@ LAUGH@ LAUGH@
-
Hold that thought!!! Why can Matt hide the surprise 'till Flanders?
I was mad enough when i couldnt go, but I knew the photos would be up Sunday night... It's not fair! :wallbash:
OK now that I got that off my chest...YEAH! Did "Celly" (http://www.twcenter.net/forums/images/smilies/emoticons/sign_wtf.gif) run out of gas?
-
Nope, we didn't run out of gas... the whole engine blew up, didn't you hear? Poof itstrue
-
m-d Yucell's reaction to the engine blowing up was too censored for Jack to post. For some reason Jack didn't get video of Yucell replacing the accelerator cable that also broke. Hey that might have been why the engine blew up!!! m-d
-
You guys are getting as bad as Jack! - well, almost - your engine did not blow up! :icon_tongue:
Now if the accel cable broke, that would have been fun to watch!....I have NEVER seen Yucel not smile, but maybe the cable would have gotten to him!

I dont think my project is that big of a deal, again, the amount of work others have done on their cars/bus far outgoes my work. Speaking of work, where is Jacks rat rod? Shouldnt that be coming out soon?
