Mick,

It's in a place called Emeryville. It is just across the SF Bay before
Oakland & Bezerkley (Berkeley). There is a finger of land jutting out of the
Bay where the Emeryville Marina is located.

Emeryville's claim to fame used to be the mudflats where artist would sneak
in late at night and set-up their artwork. It's like a miniature "Burning
Man" event which changed daily to entertain the commuters. The flats have
since been cleaned up and a humungous IKEA store is the most prominent
building in town.

Westies were plentiful during the event because it seems that Westy owner's
are more devoted to the Vanagon ownership than other owners. People have a
tendency to spend more money on their "homes" than their cars.
