After two years of sitting here in the desert, Herbie is running again. We just bought a new battery and did a little service including a motor oil change.

Before hitting the road across the United States, we went on a test ride today, heading to Palmdale and Lancaster, passing by Red Rock Canyon and Mojave.

We are happy to be back in the US, driving the Number 53 around! And we are excited to get started and to continue Herbie’s World Tour. On Thursday we’ll probably leave Ridgecrest, heading South towards Palm Springs and Salton Sea.
