Road Trippers [explore]
Road Trippers [explore]

Spencer Hot Spings. Under the Toiyabe Mountain Range in Nevada, just off the famous Route 50, the Loneliest Road in America. We were on an epic 2,700 road trip from Grand Junction to California, and back again which we did in seven days. Pretty impressive for two old VW microbuses! This is the morning of our last day on the road.

Spencer Hot Springs was our halfway point and where we decided to camp out. A stunning location. This was my first trip to America, and for an Englishman it was a revelation to see such wide open spaces and wilderness. We drove for hours without seeing a soul on our road trip.

I was a copilot, so had plenty of opportunities to record the journey. We drove from the famous Kustom Coach Werks workshop in Grand Junction, CO, in a bus they had restored for my mate Simon, all the way to Northern California to take part in the annual Shasta Snow Trip. And this is from the return trip back. During the resto John Jones, boss at KCW, thought it would be fun to join Simon for his road trip in his bus. It is just a coincidence that both buses are turkis (their original colours)


As a good little flickrer, I took loads of photos! So if you like road trips check out the sets in the Shasta collection. I'm still going through these ones 2 months later!
