Nice pictures of the horses in Sandhills. I am excited to be heading out that way in a month or so. Here are a couple from this morning in New Hampshire. Squam Lake A marsh along Hwy 113A. Mount Chocorua.

Squam Lake, NH I'm not totally sure if this derelict old island house is really abandoned, but I've never seen anyone there.

Thank you for all the replies. SheepnJeep I really like your Toyota. I would like to get to Alaska someday as it looks beautiful. I also look through my pictures from this trip occasionally to remember the adventure. IthrowWrenches you have what looks to be a solid start with your '66...

A few from last spring/summer in New Hampshire.

I am glad you finally got your VW. I always liked them but wasn't really looking for one when I fell into this one. I saw this '66 sitting in such a sad, neglected state that I sort of felt sorry for it. They are great little cars off road. I have driven mine down many of New Hampshire's...

Thanks everyone for the kind responses. It certainly was a memorable trip. Currently the VW is laid up in hibernation while the New Hampshire roads are covered in salt, but spring is hopefully around the corner. You should definitely make an effort to go cross-country in that Land Rover. It...

modernbeat that '55 Bus is amazing. I'll contribute another couple with my '66 Bug from my 2013 trip to CA. Highway 50. Western Utah. Old Hwy 6 & 50. Eastern Utah.

12th Street. McPherson County, Kansas.

From the top of Mount Moosilauke in NH. Almost at the summit. Looking East toward the White Mountains and the Presidential Range. Mount Washington is on the far right.

Wow. I love those wide open spaces you guys out west are blessed with. Where I am in NH, which is beautiful in its own way, you practically have to hike up a mountain to get a panoramic view. Anyway, here are a few shots from a foggy morning drive last summer. A pond off Hwy 25-A Looking...

My C20 yesterday at the foothills of Mount Moosilauke in New Hampshire.

Thank you. Here is another abandoned bridge shot. This is from last summer over the White River in southern Indiana. There are quite a few of these old wood deck truss bridges in that area but I believe they are all closed now. 3 years ago I rode my motorcycle across one but this past summer...

The old Livermore Falls bridge and pulping mill north of Plymouth, New Hampshire. This remaining brick mill building is huge probably 80-90 feet above the Pemigawasset River. A close-up of some of the bridge structure. Looking through the lower suspension work that supported the deck above...

The Redwoods in the Muir woods were spectacular. After taking over 100 pictures, I discovered that it is simply beyond me to try to photographically capture the true immensity of these great trees. However the lighting in the woods provided an amazing opportunity for some high contrast...

Here are some more pictures from California. I drove some of the Pacific Coast Highway, visited the Muir Woods, and hiked up Mount Tamalpias. The high cliffs along the coast. This should give a bit of perspective on the size of the cliffs. My VW is barely more than a speck in the at the...

I woke up early, excited to be so close to my destination checked the Volkswagen's belt tension, timing, and oil level, filled up with gas, and putted westward aimed for Carson City. The Sierra Nevada range loomed large beyond Carson City. In the distance, the dusty yellows and browns of the...

Wow thanks for the responses everyone. Sorry I have not been very diligent at updating this thread for a while. My computer took a dump and I had to get another one. So now I am back and should hopefully work up another post tomorrow. As for the questions that have been posted, I'll try to...

The great thing about the desert is that unlike Dallas, it actually cooled off nicely overnight leaving me with a nice dry morning with temperatures in the mid 60’s. I performed the a little VW maintenance (oil level and a quick timing check), packed up, filled up with gas and headed out...

I had an REI Halfdome, a lightweight sleeping bag, and a pillow. I didn't bring cooking provisions, so I just ate at restaurants along the way and bought crackers, chips, apples and gallon jugs of water for on the road snacking. Pretty basic. I found plans to build a folding cot that fits in...

Here are some more pictures from the Utah portion of the trip. Black Dragon Canyon from the I-70 overlook. Black Dragon Canyon San Rafael Swell I-70 overlook I-70 winds down into another hot Utah valley. The Utah desert horizon was sometimes filled with thunderstorms that I never quite...
