Well, all I can say is: you guys all missed out on a Really Good Time.

The weather was perfect, the location was excellent and we all had a terrific time. Barry (at the Thirsty Woman Tavern) has a beautiful '78 Westy that's in wonderful shape. He wasn't at Maupin this year, but he's been there before! He wants this to become an annual VW gathering and I have to agree, this is only going to get bigger.
Good brews, good bands and a great time.
Also, if you're ever in the neighborhood, be sure to get the creme brulee from the Good River restaurant.



The carabus met at the Tin Shed for breakfast, had some excellent grub and hit the road.

It was hot drive, but not terrible.
Image

with the rockface on one side
Image


and the Columbia river on the other, it stayed pretty cool. Mid 80s
Image

The Portland Contingent sets up camp.
Image

With the EZ awning between Elle and Miss Zora and we've got it made in the shade. As we were relaxing, Deb from the Thirsty Woman pub welcomed us.
Image

Please note our spacious site.. plenty of room for all.
Image

Thunderstorms appeared on the horizon, but the wind was blowing them away.
Image

There was a wine tasting, but we're beer snobs. The beer at the pub was excellent, with a 16 taps plus various bottles. Yow!
Image

that's a kitesurfer out there. At one point, I think he was about 75 in the air. But all that wind blowing off the water kept us cool.
Image

Score! another sticker for Miss Zora
Image

Relaxing and watching the other buses arrive.
Image

Time for the bus tour. A nice splitty.
Image

An old friend of the family showed up, but he soon tired of us riff raff and departed.
Image

Slowly, more buses arrived.
Image

A nice 21 window with sunroof.
Image


There were all sorts of rigs and some folks only stayed for a little while. I failed to get a pic of a 4wd syncro truck and a few others that ran off early.

A Creamsicle Vanagon.
Image

New and old.
Image

This is a nice one.
Image

It's almost Hambone clean.
Image

Up front, it looks nice and sedate...
Image

but its not stock. That's a monster motor. 2200? is that right?
Image

Another nice ride.
Image

if you look close, you can see the little window inside. It's in the partition that's right behind the front seats. The back is empty.
Image

Nice and clean.
Image

Because let's face it, all you need is that surfboard.
Image

Things started to fill up.
Image

An immaculate '57
Image

Insides in great shape, too.
Image

Some folks left early.
Image

because it was too doggone hot. Amongst the Wreckage is the band that Fido there is enjoying. They were great.
Image

I think that's a steak, I"m not certain.
Image

it was getting late so we headed back to Alpha Base.
Image

and the first thing we noticed is a paint sample someone left on Miss Zora.
Image

We looked around, but they obviously hightailed it. We know the color, though!
Image

So we head back home, past the cool waters.
Image

The sun sets as we wind our way back.
Image

Driving home in the cool of the night.
