[T3] Type 34 Karmann Ghia Road trip to Las Vegas...

[John Jaranson]

Jill and I had yet another fantastic drive today crossing New Mexico and on into Flagstaff, AZ for the night. Just a short 4 hours tomorrow into Las Vegas. The Ghia just continues to cruise along at 65-70 mph and right around 26mpg. The weather has been absolutely fantastic. Haven't really needed the A/C the last few days.

Jill and I had another great day of cruising the Ghia across Oklahoma, Texas, and into New Mexico.  We arrived Tucumcari, NM in time to even get a little birding in before dark...picking up our lifer Scaled Quail among some other birds.

Great drive in almost perfect weather.  Another beautiful sunset also.  On to Flagstaff, AZ tomorrow before the final short day into Las Vegas on Thursday.  Still getting around 26.5 mpg give or take while cruising at 65-70 mph.  Have added less than a quart of oil after almost 1400 miles.

Jill and I decided to attend the Type 34 World meet-up at the One Crazy Weekend VW Show in Las Vegas next weekend.

We started the 2100+ mile trip out there today and we completed the first leg of our roadtrip to Las Vegas with her 67 Type 34 Karmann Ghia.  Great weather to cruise in...didnt even need the A/C.  The Ghia is running great.  Got 26.5 mpg on the first tank full. Such a fun and easy car to drive.

570 mile day planned tomorrow and the weather looks good with sunshine and highs in the mid-80s.  Should be a good day.

Will try to post daily update.
