Road tripped to the Alvord from Cali during the lockdowns in my '78. Took Jungo road from Gerlach thru Deniio.. there's tons of cool stuff hidden out there.... I need to get up there again. Maybe I'll get lucky and run into your group...
Drove my 71 down the "rough" gravel Road south of 20 in the early 90s in the spring had the hot springs all to myself before little house was there and they started charging money floating on my back under the stars on a thermarest in the square hot pool with millions of stars all around... but 14 fewer VW buses.. now there's a memory
I was testing out my 91 high top chevy conv. van, 98k miles, I paid 3k. I took my daughter 24 for a daytrip through the northern red's from Medford. I saw a beautiful baywindow parked in the bay. The day of the eclipse, and wondered about it. Saw it at the Safeway that night. That's what I do. And now I found this. I have camping spots in Medford if you need.
Great video, Brendon! Great shots, narration and soundtrack. I so wanted to join the group, but my schedule was just too full. I had just finished about 5,000 miles doing the Texas US Route 67 VW Road Trip organized by Gary Alexander of the VW Life RUclips channel. Here's hoping to join next year's adventure. Sere you and Harley on this year's Treffen?
I would LOVE to do this style video for Treffen. Knowing I can at least record my narration in a walmart parking lot inside my bus at 5am has really sparked my mind with how to approach these. This was distilled from 3 hours of video on my phone and editing took 6 hours (that FLEW by). Knowing how I can manage the logistics of producing a video from my rolling home not-a-studio means I can be doing this style of video I've WANTED to do since I first watched Vehicular Lunatics 20 years ago.
@@dbroenen I have the coordinates for Moab... But need to figure out a 5 gallon jerry can without putting it inside if I can help it. Don't wanna drag my single wheel THAT far. (You recall i'm sure how much FUN it was last summer. This trip it gave me NO grief but the UTILITY it provides isn't worth the racking my nerves take on washboarded dirt roads)
If I was camping somewhere or at some cool Hot Springs and 15 VW buses with 15 dogs rolled up on me I'd be like wow bummer the whole vibe just got ruined. That's just me my idea of a amazing time is when there's a few to no other people, vans, vavagons, syncro's or not.
I don't mind a VW car show or something but this many people arriving at the Hot Springs at the same time? That's like backpacking and having a group of 12 to 15 people come stopping through a meadow or something I had a 71 for 10 years, and drove from Oregon to Baja and from Idaho to the northern tip Newfoundland, but a big huge group of people stomping around just ain't my cup of tea. I am more of a soloist. And of course it's a challenge to keep that big of a group together because it's too big of a group!

I vote for more videos! Treffen #26 for sure! BTW, heading to Moab later this month. 🙂👍
BTW, having produced a few videos myself, I recognize and appreciate the work involved. Many hours to produce a short, but high value, video.
