3340 Miles in a 1969 Volkswagen Beetle. Crossing the United States from West to East in a VW bug
My son and I bought a 1969 Volkswagen Beetle and drive it on an epic road trip from Spokane, Washington to Greenville, South Carolina. Along the way we cross the mountains, visit National Parks, rumble over the backroads of Utah, explore Route 66 and the forgotten byways of America, visit family and spend 10 days and over 3300 miles in a fully loaded Volkswagen bug. If your a fan of P.O.V. driving videos then you'll enjoy this. What the videos lack in narration, they made up for in epic scenery and great roads to drive. If your looking for a screen saver, or a way to waste an hour and a half then you'll also like this. Breakdown of days on the road: Prep day in Spokane, ran through the bug and sorted out a few issues with the bug. Stopped by HOOK's Air-cooled Shop www..facebook.com/HooksAirCooled for lots of spare parts and advice on the upcoming trip. Absolutely the best VW shop in the area! -Day1 - Spokane Washington to Ontario Oregon 370 miles, snow and wind through Washington and Idaho -Day2 - Ontario Oregon to Salt Lake City 400 miles, Stopped in Boise Idaho at RMF VW repair shop www.rmfvw.com for some advice and a few spare parts. Great Shop!
