long time no post

Well it’s been a while since I last updated this blog and a lot has happened. First, I was gone for three weeks to an archaeological field school in Montana. During this time poor ol’ Willoughby had to sit all by his lonesome in his parking space. But, when I returned he roared right back to life happy as a clam.

The first weekend that I was back Willoughby decided that he needed to stretch his legs, so off to Dubs in the Valley we went. We tagged along with some fellow Madison dubbers and made the 2.5 hour trip without any hassles. At the show we saw some sweet vws and Carmen went to her first drag race!

At about 2:30ish we decided to head out towards Door County. We ended up just a little bit south of Door but in a very nice campground near Lake Michigan.

After spending a lovely night camping under the trees, we headed all places Lake Michigan and the beach in particular.

After wading a short bit in Lake Michigan and having breakfast Carmen, Willoughby, and I traveled along the shoreline until we came to Two Rivers where we started heading back west toward Lake Winnebago.

We made the rest of the trip with only one minor happenstance. We ended up taking the wrong road and added an extra hour to our time. Ooppss. hehehe. All and all, the trip home took almost 6 hours, as we moved by back roads and were not in a rush. The entire trip put about 400+ miles on Willoughby; I would say it’s was a successful first outing.

I have been working the last few weeks, but unfortunately for my bank account we have just ran out of work causing me to have the last few days off. I believe I have spent them wisely, getting Willoughby’s paint back into shape. Willy and I have spent many hours buffing, and waxing and are not done yet. Plus, you may notice the new paint on Willy’s shoes and the spare tire mount has been fixed. All thanks to yours truly.

Well, that about sums it up. Of course, we are planning another mad adventure in dear ol’ Willoughby. I only wish that I had more money to put him fully right before we head out. Oh well, whats an adventure without a little risk?
