Itinerant Air-Cooled

I am hopeful that a group camp can happen before the end of Sep. (20-22 or 27-29).

One way or 'tuther I'm gettin' out there. Papa needs some Papa time.

I think I will go to the 'wherever camp' ifn' I end up goin' solo.

Just tuned up the Bus (for the first time sine June) and am really ready to get the hell out of town.
I will probably go someplace both weekends since summer is slipping away, again...but the 26th-29th (Thurs-Sun) I am free for sure, and that works best for me for the Clackamas Clown Crew Camp up ther Plaza aways.

Pick a date and I'll be there.

26th? YES!?!

I could be up for this... =)

Directions:
224 thru Estycady
Climb, then drop down to reservoir (a couple of miles)
at the bottom, take a LEFT at Silver Fox RV Park (big sign), and immediate LEFT again
this is 4610, which will switchback up the canyon
then - LaDee Flat.
LEFT at the first jct (about 6 miles), staying on 4610 (4611 goes to the right, don't go this way)
drop down and cross the creek
climb, climb, climb
pass Squaw Lakes (about 8 miles)
We will be camped in the next mile or so past Squaw AKA "Tumalo" lakes
WATCH FOR THE ORANGE HUBCAP
AND MY FANNY

Wednesday night? I'm waitin' on Slugg-isimo, he's not returning my calls, faxes, emails, telegrams, telegraphs, or haikus.
Edit: I did finally hear from Sluggo, he was stationed on the Graf Zeppelin and out of radio communication.

Have you tried pigeon? I'll bring him some ball joints....

So are those the d's to the same spot or different? I'll be there wherever...

Same place. You'll find us.
Nasty weather hitting the Cascades this weekend, looks to be sunny for our camp (so far...).

Pigeon and ball joints, I didn't know what the hell you were talking about for a while there.

F**K! I just sold the camper. Really hit home when I saw it driving away down the road (I realized at that moment that it was the first time I have ever not been in the camper when it was driving.)
It was time and needed to be done…but damn, whole lotta memories drove down the road.
Is it some kind of sickness that five minutes after the van drove off I was trolling craigslist “just looking” for another beater to start all over again? If anyone hears about any good deals out there…
But I think I need a camp trip; and soon. When you guys taking off for Whatever Camp? Any plans for camp modifications? I still got tools. I could use a good project over the weekend
Hambone- Are you going solo? Mind a ride along? I’m not sure I ready to be the “truck guy” yet.

I am going solo, but I am leaving Wednesday nite or Thursday morning if that works for ya. Of course you're welcome to come with. BUT, don't worry about the truck, Don brings his all the time.
Congrats on selling it, you needed to. There are always more old brokendown cars out there. Earlier Buses are easier and cheaper to maintain FWIW, but not as much space.

Hey, bring tools, you never know.
You guys still in?

Heard of a running '74-'75 Bus out at Gresham Towing yesterday, but no idea if it's a camper or what they're asking...

I'll try and make it out for Friday night. Finally done with the Bus brakes, finally got Done Enough with the shed after putting the roof on yesterday .. in the rain.

Great spot! I will see if I can swing it! The wife is off to SE Asia for work, so might come up for the day with the boys!

hope its -

Great X2!
