Splits and Bays living in harmony. That looks like a great time. I have not figured out the Beetle Bus though. What were the temps out there?
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue, I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace. Where never lark, or even eagle flew. And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod, The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

The temps weren't bad. Lows in the mid to high 40's. Highs in the low 80's. The weather was good despite the wind, and we all had a great time.

That's a great lineup! Nice to see so many VWs used as nature intended.

This was a great trip--great volks, brews, and scenery. Can't wait to do it again.

My bug bites still itch, though. :blackeye:

A couple more pictures to add...
