The weather was beautiful, and temps were perfect for running your VW!
Thanks to everyone coming out, and although we only finished ~35% of the cruise... at least we have something to look forward to: Katie's Ole' Dutch Cruise Part II!
For this part we will get the ol' car tanks filled up, as well as the ol' stomach tank filled up and quickly start in Lancaster Pa and continue the cruise.
Hope you all enjoyed the trail!
No one got lost...well, not for too long anyway, and for part II we will pick up more speed burnrubber
Katie and I had a good time, the food and company were great as usual, and Katie got a new puppy to bring home!
This day could not have been better, clear crisp skies, little road traffic....
Katie put up some pics on her photobucket, you can visit them below.
THANKS to Jay for helping out :icon_thumleft:, and THANKS for everyone who made the trip! Glad you could make it!!!!!!

Big thanks to Matt & Katie for putting this together. :icon_cheers: We are so looking forward to part II and continuing the tour drive&& of dutch country. Maybe I can have another big sundae? :icon_cheesygrin:

Awesome cruise sjvwc.ico!!
I really enjoyed those dutch country roads- winding around, rolling hills, beautiful fall foliage, a covered bridge, and being surrounded by VW's... (love
We saw lots of cool animals - first Katie's new puppy, then cows, horses, horses pulling buggies, a blue heron, ponies, donkies, sheep and (my all time fave) billy goats! $61$
If anyone goes to Isaac's for lunch - I'd highly recommend the caramel Dutch apple pie! :icon_cheers:
Thanks again Matt & Katie!

Glad everyone had a good time, that is what it was all about - though I did try to stick to the schedule, but oh well, that is perfectly fine, rather go easy & have a good time than rush around all the time....
Maybe I can have another big sundae? :icon_cheesygrin:
-Yucel
LAUGH@ ...Anytime you get the chance - how were their desserts anyway?, I liked their food,.... maybe, I'll try that dutch apple pie that Michelle suggested!
I hope by next year they will have fixed the one bridge they were working on,
and......
completed their move of another one - now I just have to find it... 888
Matt & Kaite & the as yet unamed cruise puppy! ( Thanks Jay, she loves that thing! - it'll be a good reminder for her of the cruise - )

To Everyone. For a Cruise that was almost a year in the making it was well worth it. Also glade that Matt decided to wait the rain out for a Beautiful :icon_sunny: day. Great Cruise, a Special Thanks to Matt and Kattie for all of your research and scouting efforts. Glade Kattie enjoyed the Puppy, it's not everyday that dad will let there daughters have a puppy. I kept seeing Kattie, and the puppy poping their heads up and out of the sunroof as the puppy's ears were flopping in the wind.. $61$
I don't think I ever rememberd seeing so many Amish horse and Buggies on the those roads before. One thing for sure, most of those folks are normally shy and avoid outsiders. But they all seemed to enjoy the carivan of Bugs and actually gave us the thumbs up several times. Even the little Amish boys were pointing and WA# at us and that Monster Baha-ha
Suggestion. Next time we take a Cruise that covers considerable distances and time we need to do two things. They are Get & Eat less.
1. Move along a little faster. drive&& and
2. Stop for food a little less. I'm amazed at how much food some skinny people can eat. What's up with that a Tapeworm? LAUGH@
Another suggestion would be to turn this event into a two day'er. Saturday Campout, into Sunday.
Hey did anyone get any good Photos of those restored and working Steam Locomotives. They were huge.
These Guys..

Jack - Awesome video! P#3
Greg - nice photos man!! $61$
Jay - you were reading my mind. On the way back to Dirty Jersey, we passed a campground and I said to Yucel, "we should camp next year, I would love to spend more time out here!" People who don't want to camp can just meet up with us. I really hope we can get more VW's out for it next time... this was fabulous!

it was a great day for a cruise, sorry we didn't make it. susan and i and skully our dog had the 63 out for a cruise around these parts. all back roads. we didn't think we could leave our dog home alone for that long which is why we missed your cruise. looking forward to the xman cruise. i may bring along a vw friend who is waiting on a low mile 60 beetle from cali. busicon2

Man, those are some really nice pictures guys!! Better than I would have ever thought getting while driving, and Jack good job on the video! REALLY NICE everyone! Cool to see Katies head from the car - great timing shot Jay! WOW.
Camping is a great idea, maybe I can find an area in Lancaster or near it - or if someone else has a mid location in mind...I think one was generally mentioned..
Thanks Jack, for setting my claims straight, here is another one....

We had the pedals to the metal and couldn't catch that 36HP monster. And by the way if we'll up there who's way back there taking those photo's? @7@

If you notice, I'm the one behind Jay. But he did every thing in his power to prevent me from passing burnrubber :-*

Love the pic matt just goes to show you that the old school air cooled beats out the new water cooled :icon_cheers: BO**
