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 Kevin & Debie Welch on February 12, 2014 at 9:50am: Great to hear from you Big Blue!! I saw an older film with Robin Williams call RV I think, but it was pretty funny, Woodstock might be fun for us old folks, maybe the Perfect Storm since we are close to the ocean, scary films could send everyone back to their buses unable to sleep, but I'm in and whatever we want to do would be good. We'll have to do popcorn this year for sure, Looking forward to it my friend!!

Comment by Cheryl Buck on February 17, 2014 at 9:41pm: I really want to try to make this happen. I look forward to meeting some fellow bus folks.

Comment by Big Blue's Driver on April 7, 2014 at 9:39pm: Regis - you could camp at http://www.casiniranch.com/, where Bus City was the first 2 years. Also, out on the coast is the Sonoma Coast parks, you might be able to find a place there. Like Bodega Dunes or Wrights beach: http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=451
