Back from our week+ camping in the redwoods. Had a nice time other than on day one blew my water pump on the Syncro up in Ashland Oregon. Found a place in Medord Oregon that could work me into their busy schedule and said they knew about Vanagons so got towed there and they confirmed my pump was bad and was able to order one that day. Part came in Monday so $450 repair later and $300 Rent-A-Minivan charge to keep us on vacation for the weekend, I picked the syncro up Monday night. Blowing the water pump put a little damper on vacation but at least it was on day one and we were cable to limp by using a minivan. Was a sight to see switching all gear from the Syncro to the Minivan and then back again on Monday. We had our workout but it all went OK. Redwoods are wonderful as normal. I have a few pictures on my http://www.vwhippie.com web site if you want to check them out.

Saw this at Grizzly Creek State Park on Highway 36 in California. We stayed there one night during out redwoods summer vacation and thought all you Vanagon lovers would like to see this. A Vanagon mounted to a bus. Looks like this family was staying a while at this park as he had satellite dish all setup. He probably lives in this ride. Summer of love baby! hehehe

I posted a few pictures of our trip on my web site if you want to check that out. Link is at bottom right of page labeled summer 2006 camping if you want to check them out. Just a couple pictures but the Smith River is sure nice up in northern California.

All that trouble just because your sink didn't work?

there is a badass one (hambone might disagree) in a storage lot in santa cruz that has two splitties back-to-back on top, with cushy lounging areas inside of them, working cargo doors w/ balconies, and cool tree-like ladders to get up into them from the lower level. Saw it on for sale on cL a while back, don't know what the deal is now.

Me thinks that the topic title "Bus on Bus picture" conjurs up some sort of unhealthy auto-erotic fantasy by a Type 2 enthusiast.

That is sick and twisted! But I thought the same thing too.
