Tom Gorton commented on Big Blue's Driver's event Bus City 2013 - the 5th anniversary campout"Can't wait to head out this evening! I'm bringing my road bike and I'm going to pedal out to see some of the Tour of California bike race Sunday as they cruise through Occidental. Anyone want to join me?"
Mary Atleson commented on Big Blue's Driver's event Bus City 2013 - the 5th anniversary campout"So sorry to hear this! You really should try to keep it down to one 20+ year old car (I am a total hypocrite on that front) and a newer home or a rental so you don't have to pay for repairs. Hope you can make it Sunday:)

"One more thing Mary,
When I talk about dancing and howling at the mood don't think I mean being rude to others or boom boxes and hip hop, I'm 59 years old and in bed in most cases before 10 so no worries from the Welchs! "
"Hi Mary,
Its a DVD projector and I have the 8 foot screen that go's with it! It's very cool and I use it when I do community outreach events. Fun for outdoor viewing."
Mary Atleson commented on Big Blue's Driver's event Bus City 2013 - the 5th anniversary campout"I am confused - is this a projector that requires a screen or a DVD player? Looking forward to meeting everyone and enjoying Nature. Hopefully, Levi (boy dog in our pic) will make new doggy friends as well since he likes both small and large dogs.…"

Jenn Frederick said… - I manually copied and pasted recent blog entries which were about the bus or baja only. I couldn't figure out a way to automatically link my blog to the vw camper family site.

Shari G-E said… - A little agricultural town called Knight's Landing. It's on Hwy 113 north of Woodlland on the Sacramento River. I drive through there all the time on the way to visit friends and family where I grew up. There's a steel deck bridge over the river and you make a left onto the levee rd.--can't really see it from the road.

- It's on the Sacramento River just outside a small agricultural town north of Woodland called, Knight's Landing--I go by when I go home to see family and friends. I took the picture on the way home from the Trainspotting I campout, June '09.

Elaine Long Vandiver said… - Yeah, we got lucky and found a deal on a '67 a few years back. Couldn't bring ourselves to get rid of the '78--too many memories! Actually, our '78 is a little famous (in my humble opinion). It was used as the image for several Dave Matthews Band concert posters. Check out my blog: www.bill-the-bus.blogspot.com Very excited to have found a new VW community!!

busboss said… - Thanks for the welcome! My bus is sitting comfortably on jack stands in the garage right now. I'm working on some interior projects and will begin an engine rebuild in the Spring. You probably won't see me until Summer but you will see me as soon as we are on the road again.

300 Members! Have you seen the Member Map?
Have you guys seen the member map function of the site? It's under the "Fellow Bussers" tab. You can put your city on there. This function can be used as a way to help you get camping advice for specific members. It also can help know who is in the area in case you break down. NOTE: you don't need to put an address - you can just put the city if you are comfortable with that.
Think of it as an easy to update AIRS list:…
