Hi Kathleen Sorry to hear tabout Clementine  14 months is a long time to be missing your camper. Was it a repair, restoration project? And where is your body shop guy? Should we be wary?

I am not sure. If we all lived close it would be wonderful to have a girls camp out. Of course that is not a possibility. I do enjoy reading everyone's comments and knowing that I am possibly not the only single woman who owns a Vanagon. Maybe we should just ask the group what they feel the mission of the group should be. I do not have any suggestions of hand.

Greetings! I have a 1987 VW Westfalia. Got it back in 1999. Have done repairs here and there. I call her the Stealth Vagon. Still have some maintenance to do on her, but she's road trip ready. Have explored a many of roads already with her and dogs as co-pilot's. Past due for another road trip. Looking forward to sharing and finding other VW Camper like minded individuals. Would enjoy going with others VWs camping somewhere.

Looks like lots of west coasters on here!  Would be fun to try to plan a west coast get together. Thoughts??

Hi Janna, I am hoping to meet up with a VW woman from Florida in the San Luis Obispo area around 25 April. Her bus is stored near there. I am in London right now and my 71 Westy is stored in Corona, CA. Where are you? Want to do some driving together? I am relocating to CA.

Hi, I just joined after searching online for VW camper women! Sharon and I are in our early 60s, live in NorCal between SF and Yosemite NP, and are proud owners of a 1990 Westy currently undergoing some restoration and upgrades. We'll soon hit the road again and hope to meet more like-minded active women who are into camping, hiking, kayaking, exploring, etc.

Hi Robyn and Carol,
We own a eurovan so we aren't as cool as you guys, but we are in Turlock (maybe near you Robyn?) and have camped out over 20 times since buying our vehicle 2 years ago. We have two kids that love camping too (the kids were why went went with eurovan and not bus.). We are often up for weekend get aways so let us know if you want company. And I completely understand not wanting the kid factor on some trips. Not offended! But sometimes they provide great entertainment, especially when they aren't your own.
Hope to see you around,
Michelle (and melanie)

Hello, everyone, Sharon and I just joined under my name. We are proud and grateful owners of a 1990 Westy currently undergoing some restoration and upgrades for another 26 years of camping road trips.  Soon "Newton" (short for Farfig Newton, so named for the VW slogan popular in 1990) will be ready to hit the road and we're looking forward to linking up with active, like-minded women who enjoy camping, hiking, biking, kayaking, exploring, etc.  Newton is my 3rd Vanagon/Westy since 1974.  We are in our early 60s and live a in NorCal town right smack between SF and Yosemite.  Soon as I figure out how to post a pic, I will.

Welcome to our group, Robyn and Sharon, I'd love to see you up here in Lakeport , CA, (east of Ukiah). Gorgeous mountain scenery besides the lake. Small town friendliness. State park nearby and you are also welcome to camp in my yard. I would be happy to welcome any of our VW gals up here. Look forward to hearing from more of you :)
Our facebook group is more active with comments than here, so if you are a facebook member message me so I can invite you.

Carole
