Is there already a SoCal VW Camper Group formed?
I don't want to duplicate efforts. I haven't been able to find any as of yet... but there are so many Westy's on the road down here!

:-) ok... I'm Pat. radugat@hotmail.com I live in Walnut, CA and am involved in a lot of activities at church, practice Filipino Martial Arts and even at 50+ I still want to learn how to surf. My bus is a '79 non-deluxe Westy and her name Echo. I've got six pics in my profile but will work on adding more.
I wish I could've met with everyone at the first meet in MDR and/or PDR but I've got 60 psi compress. on #1 so I'm saving $$$ to replace the head(s)... It's a bummer because I LOVE driving her, especially to the beach with my wife and 3 Yorkies.
In the 70's I loved backpacking/camping in the Sierras with the church youth group. They carted us around in a VW bus. Maybe that's where the desire came from.
So, I "sold" my wife on the idea of getting one by renting a Westy from Bill at Vintage Surfari (Honu Li'u) for her birthday week. On the last rental day we woke up with the surfers riding waves at South Carlsbad SB. It was a brisk, sunny morning having breakfast and coffee off the burners with pop-top up. Cleaned up the fire pit and headed for our last destination which was in the snow at Julian so that we could pick up a few apple pies. We returned My wife loved it so much that by the time we got back home in our car she said "We're getting a bus!" even before I turned off the car.

Hi, I live in Los Osos, and have camping with the Camper Family. I am looking for some campers closer to my area to camp with also.

If you plan one to Big Sur, it's a place we've been wanting to check out. I heard it's beautiful. Summer is the best time for us to have the time to explore. Hopefully, it will be kid and (small) dog friendly. :)
