Autumn is in the air. The mountain nights are cool and the mornings are crisp.

Jerome Jamboree

The afternoon temperatures are down to double digits in most of Arizona. It is September and time for the Jerome Jamboree! This year the Arizona Bus Club celebrated their twenty-ninth year at Jerome. The ABC is a VW club and charity organisation dedicated to helping their community and making good memories with their Volkswagen family and friends. Jerome is located in the North central area of Arizona and is a former mining town perched on the side of a mountain. It is a fun town to walk or drive through, you can explore the historic buildings and hear the old ghost stories. The Jamboree is in the lower lot of the Gold King Mine Ghost Town at the end of the road past the local fire station. Jerome Jamboree XXIX had great weather and lots of good times with great people!

Lance & Lisa Beaver tell the story of their...‘Old School' Westfalia Bay

The history of our bus is varied. I heard that it used to belong to a soccer player who lived in it for a while, and a tale of a cross country trip that was taken in it. Since we’ve owned it, we have been to numerous car shows with our car club Kahiko Kula and enjoy that immensely, but taking it camping is our joy.
