A fellow Sonarman student and his family had a Volkswagon bus that looked just like this one back in 1973. Well, except for all the stuff stuck to the side of it.
Note, this Pontiac hood as 66 on it. That is because Pontiac is right on Route 66. A show I never missed as a kid. Now, until I got here, some 50 years later I find Route 66 didn't go where I thought. I thought it was coast to coast and it's really only a couple hundred miles in Illinois. Amazing they could do a whole TV series on it.
This pump went obsolete because of a sale of more that $9.99 was anticipated.

This is June 16th 2012 and we are headed for Pontiac, IL. When ever I told anyone that is where we were going, they always had this surprised look on their face and asked "Why?" Well, it is a 99 mile ride from home each way. My fanny is a little sensitive to riding a long time. In fact, if we stop about every hour for 20 minutes or so, my hiney does a reset and I'm good for another hour.
This is our first stop about an hour out and, of course, happens to be a Dunkin Donut. And, yes there was a police cruiser parked there when we pulled up. Here Brenda is detaching her headset from her jacket.

The End (Sort of)
This concludes our blog on our Germany adventure. I would recommend if you wish to brave the whole of it that you go to the beginning. The beginning is naturally at the end. Well, it wasn't the end when we started, but the postings stack on each other by the time your done the beginning is at the bottom. The adventure does build on itself to some degree so take the hour it takes to go through the whole thing and start at the March link in 2010 to the left and move up through the site.
We didn't stay in Germany as long as we had hoped we would because of ailing parents. Ending our stay early so we could be closer to them as they kept scaring us with threat of dying suddenly.
I hope you enjoy the site as much as I did putting it together. I will be starting another site for our U.S. adventures. I'll post the link here once I decide what is interesting enough to do a new blog on.
