I was there, too. Great show!

If the bus up and running by then, I will consider making the trip over. The next week will tell alot regarding engine re-rebuilding.

My 30th class reunion is on the 18th and I have to be at Anderson VW early on Sunday to work the show. Camping sounds like fun and I've heard Marengo Ridge is a pretty cool place.

Have fun and see you at VW-FEST!!!

I just got a call from a local VW buddy that wants to ride out with me Friday and camp. So I'm planning on it now.

Do we need reservations at the campground?

Where's it at?

You can make them. I guess we should. Let's coordinate our effort there is a pair of campsites that we can nail down and will provide a good base camp, I think it is 11 and 12.

Its a maybe at this point. My wife has a party to attend and we are checking to see if Carrie's mom can watch the little guy(1.5 yrs old) - I should know by next week.
I'm all out of ideas and I've tried nothing.

I'm out, after all. Sorry.
I just noticed the show is on Sunday rather than Saturday...I had planned on going Friday and coming back to study for an exam on Sunday.
Crap. :pukeleft:

I am out - wife has plans and I will be home watching the kids - if the boy was a little more manageable(18 months) I would bring the kids. There is still an outside chance the grandparents will babysit. If anything changes I will let you know.
