All - latest update is that the "Fellow Bussers" tab is no longer visible to non-members. A suggestion by a member that seemed like a good idea so it's done. Let it be so!<br />

I agree. I would be delighted beyond description if this site could evolve into one where anybody traveling across the US could see what's going on in the area they're going to, and whom to contact for more information. There's something like that at the Samba and IAC, but another resource couldn't hurt. And those forums really don't have a section like a calendar, which posts the specific dates; instead, you have to figure out what they are (and whom to contact) from the posts.

Aaron - I don't think there is any reason why this couldn't be used to set up some events and find VW camper folk in Colorado. I'm not sure what to do to get them on here, but I can try. If you have friends who VW camp, invite them.<br />

Romy's right. The way this is set up by the nature of it is that it allows for subgroups. You have to become a member to comment or add posts. I think the main reason is that as there are more and more groups added, you can follow the ones you want and ignore the rest.<br />
