4-7-13 update: I just confirmed with Ranger Chris that we are all set and a go for this year. He's excited to host us once again.

NEW THIS YEAR:
We are announcing the "Big Blue's Adventurer Award".

It's easy. This year, we'll note the miles on your bus in a spreadsheet. Next year, in 2015, when you come back to Bus City, we'll note the miles again. The one with the most miles wins each year.

Also Schoolhouse owns 30 acres across the street and a private beach just for the campground. It's just a five minute walk down the river trail. So bring your swim suits!

Comment by Les Paw on September 16, 2013 at 3:47pm: I'm so very excited for this event. My Bus should be restored enough and ready to camp by next May. This will also be my first camping trip with it since the mid 90's. HAha! See ya there!

Comment by Mel Stireman on October 12, 2013 at 4:19pm: Schoolhouse that's close to Korbel right. How can I not go I'm in Sonoma

Comment by Tré Taylor on October 14, 2013 at 11:05pm: I would really like to finally come to this in 2014... My T2 has a new/rebuilt 2.0 liter engine now, and the portable bar is finished, so I could bring it to share... cocktails and camping are a fabulous combination.

Comment by Big Blue's Driver on October 16, 2013 at 1:23pm: Mel - yes, you can walk to Korbel (and we do!)

Tre - cocktails would be awesome!

Les - this would be the perfect first campout for that old road warrior!

Comment by Mark and Donna on December 16, 2013 at 12:04pm: Looking forward to the trip. We live in Healdsburg but have never been to Schoolhouse...should be Mucho Fun!

Comment by Kim Riggs on December 18, 2013 at 1:57pm: I am going to try to make this one. Sounds like a lot of fun. :D

Comment by Big Blue's Driver on December 19, 2013 at 5:02pm: Rick - no need to make a reservation. They open just for us this weekend so there will be plenty of space!

Comment by Kevin & Debie Welch on February 11, 2014 at 11:37am: Hi everyone, we stopped getting e-mails from you all so I hope we didn't do anything last years event to get booted out. We are the folks that brought the movie projector and the Bus Movie. happy to provide the projector again if anyone is interested is something like a movie night. Had a great time last year and look forward to seeing everyone again!

Comment by Big Blue's Driver on February 12, 2014 at 9:41am: Hey Kevin and Debie - the gig is still on. Glad you are into the film thing again. I say you bring it and between now and then, we discuss what we should show. Any ideas? Little Miss Sunshine? I have plenty of interesting movies on VW Bugs, not so many obvious ones on buses...
