Bob, not staying the weekend? Haven't read the whole thread so if you already said why, sorry.

We've rearraged and are at A24. No need to worry about the fog horns, John, so be sure to prepare the fall out shelter upon arrival.

CAMPING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe he found a vanagon-only forum somewhere

. Yeah, don't see many posts from him lately. He did indicate when this tread started that "he was in" ... so, hopefully he's still a definite.

I want to go but you know, that whole engineless bus thing is still looming.

Wish I could help you...but, that is currently beyond my scope of ever-growing VW knowledge.

Bring a tent, a warm sleeping bag, raingear (we hopefully won't need it) and a great big bottle 'o booze and join us

Just wouldn't be the same without you

I have a four person tent you can use if you need it. And a warm-ass sleeping bag...can fully outfit you if you need it!

It's actually ready to be installed but it's finding the motivation to get out in the cold and rain to do it that I'm having issues with. I was thinking of getting a yurt if the bus isn't ready by then.

We'll see. Gotta figure out somewhere to leave the hounds if I do that. I really wish they allowed dogs inside the yurts.

Well, there you are Gypsie! Haven't seen you round these parts for a while. See you at Nehelam...I hope this weather thing gets its act together.

lookin forward to whatever gets thrown down on us.
It would be nice to have Sun and a little heat for some strummin' but rain and wind make for better drinkin' weather.
