VW Bus Camping Monument Peak - Wild Wind!
"I'm excited to share that I'm back on the trail after a 6-month break! On 3/15/24, I went on an off-road adventure in a vintage Volkswagen VW Bus, exploring the San Bernardino Mountains that received a lot of rainfall over the 2023/2024 season. The overnight trip was supposed to last for a few nights, but the weather didn't cooperate, so I had to cut it short. Nonetheless, the Bus and I made it off the mountain safely, and I'm happy to share my story!"
Health
Six-month Vacation. Being diabetic, I fell into a Hypoglycemia state. My blood sugar dropped to a dangerous state. I was in & out of being unconscious. I managed to get a concussion trying to get inside the house. I did take several blows to my head, whiplash, and a broken nose. In six months, my Post Concussion Syndrome subsided, still leaving me with a vocal slur and poor word placement when I talk. But! I'm getting better every week. Verbal exercises are helping. My walking is about 90% on track. It feels good to be outside and in the Bus again. :o)

Larry, What tires are you running? Is the rest of the drivetrain stock?
Probly never break the transaxles, but you'll break the front suspension on those. Otherwise, very rugged rigs. Lightweight and low geared.
Hope you're okay, buddy 🤙
Larry How are you doing? It’s been a while since our last update. Hope all is well✌🏻🚐🌲🏔️🧙🏻♂️ Elmer-Seattle
Hey Elmer, Got my last Doctors appointment 21 of August (hopefully). Right now it takes me about two times longer to get anything done. Or More. So general life stuff has a got a grip on my outings.
@@VintageOverlandAdventures Hang in there Larry, one foot in front of the other. We all are given challenges. Cheers Elmer🧙🏻♂️✌🏻
Love seeing that bus out there over landing. I would like to take that trip with you. If you’re up to it hit me back. ✌🏼
Nicely done 👍🏼
Hi. Was it easy driving on the canyon rd getting to Holcomb campsite? Would it be alright driving at night? Thank you
Use Van Dusen Canyon Road / 3N09, by the BigBear airport. Take your time on any trail at night. Easiest way to get to the campsite.
@@VintageOverlandAdventures thank you. On the forest website they have this section and map where they are saying go up Polique canyon rd - that the ranch gates are closed from the van dusen canyon. Have you been on Polique ? Is that a rough road to drive at night? Thank you so much for sharing your video and replying to me.
Miss seeing you buddy, hope you are well.
I’m catching up on 6 months of being down, little hard, but I see light at the end of the tunnel. I’m still have a hard time talking?
Don't worry about it, Superdude, for that matter, you don't even have to narrate it;just show some video magic with some music, whatever, and we'll all enjoy it. Any content you put out is uniquely you, and that's what's special about your channel. We're all in for the long haul- if you're driving, we're along for the ride! ✌️
Thanks!
Thank You 🙏
😅Do you ever come across fallen trees that block the road because sometimes there pretty hard to move out the way?
I haven’t, 3hr walk to the road or the the other way to the Ranger station. Most my adventures in the pines is pretty well traveled. But, I should get a chainsaw and a small winch. The desert adventures are the scariest, sand, breakdowns and no cellar service. I need a satellite text unit or starlink. Or keep doing what I do! 🙄
Hi again from Australia I'm in love with your old historical kombie, she seems to stand up to it all.
Thanks 😊
Hey Larry.... How you doing bro.... Hope your well....🤙😎🤙
Getting better, but only can do what’s necessary to live.
@@VintageOverlandAdventures aaww bro....wish I could help you.... Here if you need to talk.... Stay strong and heal brother 🙏🤗🙏
Hi there from Geelong Victoria Australia ,they must of ❤ĥa❤d❤❤❤❤a hard time building that ĺooķout that is built-up on top of those big rocks way back in the 1930s carting up the building materials
Those poor springs and shockers sure take a beating.
They squeak! 🐭
Love your vintage bus over landing . Funny no 4x4 bus . Your bus is the Beast !
Thanks, 😊
its a big hats nice i have new of this lantern 228E silens hissings😊
Love the videos. We go to the same places so we might run into each other someday. Making that soup in the side of your super cool vintage van is next level. When you broke out with the hand mixer and started blending I got a big smile.
That would be cool! See ya on the trail!
Thank you for the video. Very cool camera POV with those windows popped up.
Glad you liked it!
You're like me bro... by yourself in the middle of no where just going a little crazy and loving it!! I can't wait to get my splity road worthy.
Right on!
Glad you are on the mend Larry. Awesome video. Downright gnarly terrain!
Thanks Peter! That whole trail was amazing. The wind was a little crazy.
I'm glad to see you back at it!
Hey Chrissy! Thanks so much! 👍
Excellent, I camp the Alabama hills twice a year in my 71 bay window. Always enjoy myself! 👍
That is awesome! Amazing Place! I can't wait to go back.
So happy your back I sure missed your videos. Video quality looks fantastic! We need to do another adventure some time soon.
Thanks! I hope we can soon. Need to get the Bus dialed in.
Good to see you back at it Larry! Wind can really make camping miserable!
Thanks, Matt! As soon as I set up my awning, I had to take it down because the wind picked up fast. I sat inside, fell asleep to the wind noise and the shaking of the bus. Also, I wasn't able to do a "Food Channel" portion in this episode. 😁 It was a wild ride atop a mountain, parked with 60 mph winds
I'm glad you're back, Larry! I was concerned. I'm glad to hear you're on the mend. Keep exploring! I'm looking forward to your next videos. -Mark
Thanks so much, that was a rough one. I have a couple little things I need to address (oil leak) before I can make a trip. 👍
Crossing that ditch was fn insane. Nicely done sir!
Thanks! Yes it was! Gnarly in person! 🤙
Right on keeping that old girl alive
LoL trying 😬 🤙
🎉🤙LARRY🤙🎉 How ya doing brother 🤙 Good to see ya man...!!! How the fk did you drive that line through that track....wtf😎 AWESOME 🤙😎🤙 Dude....take it easy...if you don't, I'll sneak up on you one night and let your tires down 🤣 Sending rust from sunny UK , stay safe bruv🤙😎🤙
Brother Bob! Get better everyday, How’s your Westy doing?
@@VintageOverlandAdventures glad you're on the mend bro.....yeah... Westy coming along nicely thanks....put some 215/75 r15 tires on..pushed the suspension up a couple of inches... All the mechanics are done now. Just got a couple of patches on the rear cab floor to weld up, then I can put all the interior back in.... It's hard when you don't have a garage to work in.... Stay safe Larry.... make sure you get plenty of rest...🙏🤗🙏
No Sprinter, or even 4x4, required. Love it!
Those really sound good right now, 😊
Makes me think I should bring my 23 Window back to stock height and take it out on an adventure! So rad!
I had by Bus lowered on earlys and a IDA motor a while ago. So happy with it now! You’d love the adventure!
@@VintageOverlandAdventures I remember back in the day I was off-roading a 1959 15 window. We weren't thinking about what they would go for in today's world. 😁. When I got my 23 window in 1991 it was only a couple of years later I took it on a 6000 mile road trip. That was rad.
Good to see you again! Saw an off road guy air down his tires as he drove. He put on the air down valves set to a certain pressure and drove off with then screwed on and later took them off Saved time.
Thanks 😊 by the time I put them all on the first one is done. I have them set at 25lbs right now. I should have set them on 18lbs to smooth out the ride a little more. 🤙
Living that best life!
I missed seeing you "on another one". Glad to tou back out there doing what you like to do. Look like you did a little road recontruction on that road. You got the right mindset, I got to try it. Good job negotiating that funky section. Happy travels.
It was good to get out! Glad you enjoyed it! I made a little bridge so I could straddle that washout section. On that up hill section I just gave her the beans! 😂
Nothing like a Bus adventure and a good cup of coffee in the morning...
Oh yeah! Coffee makes the outing’s Complete! With the name “GrizzleyPeak” you should band your favorite coffee flavored bean. I’d buy a batch! 😉 ☕️
Great to see a video out again. Godspeed on the recovery Larry. Keep on Veedubbin!!!
Thank you, Thank you! You too on the VeeDubbin! 🤙
Glad to see you back! Take care of yourself and keep making those steps forward! ✌️
Thank you! 😊
Good to see you rockin another Larry.
Fun to finally get on a trail. Thanks Tim!
I'm glad you're on the mends and back at it. Your posts are a great inspiration to all of us VW bus enthusiasts!
I appreciate that! 🤙
Glad to see you again, Larry. Hope you continue to feel better and better. Take care of yourself, brother.
Thank you kindly! 🤙
Hmm... I'm-a-gonna have to drive my Astro up there....
