Event Description

Finnon is back open! Let's not miss another Fall Finnon Fest, This year, since we are so close to Halloween, let's finally have a decorate the VWs campout.

Saturday evening - dinner in walking distance at the Rock Creek Cafe

Saturday night: bus to bus trick or treating and a bus costume contest!

They seem more organized than before. It is $20/site/night. Teaming up with another bus makes it cheaper, so you might want to grab a buddy. Reservations are highly recommended.

Had we gone with September again, that would be 3 years in a row well over 90. One year it was 105! Looking forward to the true Fall Fest in late October! Well done Brett!

Comment by Mike on October 8, 2012 at 8:54am: Any kids coming? My boy has been jonesin' to go camping...

Comment by Blake on October 8, 2012 at 9:31am: MC Mike, I know Big Blue will have Oak (toddler) with them. There are some new people coming and I don't know if they have kids. But kids are totally welcome and there have been kids at our campouts in the past.

Remember everyone! Think halloween/thanksgiving decorations for your van/bus!

Comment by westywoman (Melissa) on October 8, 2012 at 9:59am: There's also fun things for kids at the campground, including a frisbee golf course, a loop road for bike riding (knobby tires best) and maybe a some water in the reservoir, although I understand they are filling it slowly. The cafe has good food, too! I think the ghost horse is gone, sadly.

Comment by Big Blue's Driver on October 11, 2012 at 4:17pm: No ghost horse!?!?! MC Mike - We may leave Oak at home with a babysitter as he doesn't sleep well in the bus. He wakes up and wants to play. But there is plenty for kids to do and it's a very safe place for them to play.

Comment by Big Blue's Driver on October 16, 2012 at 8:35am: Hey all - I checked with the campground and they have reservations from the following:

Gene B

Claire J

Michael F

Laura May

Kristen H

Nancy M

Megan M

and me.

Anyone else getting reservations? I know more people are planning on this but want to make sure you guys all have a spot. Who knows? - it may be no problem and the place will probably be wide open, but consider it just to be safe.

Comment by Brett Budlong on October 16, 2012 at 1:46pm: Its going to be a last moment thing for me. So I am hoping it will be wide open. Wont know if making it until that friday. Work is a drag!!!!!

Comment by Mike on October 16, 2012 at 2:19pm: We are sharing with Megan M. And Guy

Comment by John LaTorre on October 16, 2012 at 3:42pm: I'm mailing in my deposit tomorrow. I'll be happy to share with anybody.

Now to find that damn pumpkin light.

Comment by John LaTorre on October 22, 2012 at 10:40am: Brett, I've been watching the weather ... rain pretty much all this week, but clearing by Thursday. If the rain extends into the weekend, let me know so I can bring the Tent of Doom (and Annex of Despair, if we're really going to have twenty-some buses showing up).
