Bugging Out! SoCal to OK in a 68 VW Baja

[dubs chops]

Here we are heading out of Ont. Monday morning

Some of the landscape right outside of Ontario

This is about the time I realized how bad the bug was running. It was loading up and losing power. Pulled over and adjusted the carb. Leaned out the Air Fuel a little and it helped but it was still not right. Here is the place we stopped to do the adjusting at the first time

On the way to vegas we decided to cut through the Mojave national reserve even though the bug was starting to act up. We figured what the heck when is the next time we will ever be right here. The landscape is pretty Barron, Some Joshua Tree's and what I call scrub brush is all you can see for quite a ways.

Then we came to a visitors center and decided to take a break.

Adam "Xanthracroid" checked the map to see how far we had to go.

That would explain the lack of updates.

Really cool :Wow1:thread on your travels. I would like to hear what the problem was with the carburetor. Also, last time I checked the landscape was not dry and filled with cactuses in Ontario. If I remember corectly its the place were the great lakes are and a big Cnanadian city called Toronto. (just kidding) Keep us posted with LOTS OF PICS and let us know about the fix for your mechanical problems.... Cheers, Chilli.
