Where did you drive your buggy to today? (Pics needed)

Pictures or it didn't happen.
Post up where you drove your buggy with some pictures of the trip, about how far and anything interesting about the trip. (Not for trip events like C2C, ECVW, Shuffle to Buffalo, but local to you or your local club).
Today I sold a Beetle body so I could use the pan for another buggy. In the deal, I had to deliver the body to the buyer's home bout 5 miles from my house. Since the Manx was hibernating in the car trailer I needed to transport the body with, it had to come out.
Here is what I sold, for $ 300.00!!!! Wow it was ugly.
So, I do not like to start any of my VW's for a short period and then shut it down. This is how condensate gets into a engine, then slowly turns to acid in the bottom of the case causing all kinds of issues. I like to run them to get the oil hot and burn off/evaporate and collected condensate. (That is what I told Darlene anyway so I could go for a drive).
I has only been three weeks since I last drove it, but WOW is it ever fun!
Because I have about 6.5 quarts of oil in the system, it takes a little while to get it all warmed up to operating temperature. About 35 miles total around the Kanawha Valley Area in West Virginia.
Then back into hibernation for a little while longer.
