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 Big Blue's Driver on May 18, 2014 at 9:31pm: Thanks to all of you for making it a great campout! I missed about 2-3 buses for the Adventurer award, so if I didn't get your odometer reading, let me know what is was at while you were parked at Bus City - we'll trust you!

Good times and I enjoyed meeting the new folks (and hope to see them at other campouts).

And good pictures Bruce!
