Come spend a weekend with us in Pennsylvania's coal region. There's plenty to see and do! We will be camping at Indian Head Campground in Bloomsburg. The campground is located along the Susquehanna River and offers boating, fishing, and hiking trails. The main event of the weekend will be a caravan to nearby Knoebels Grove Amusement Resort. Knoebels is the largest free-admission and free-parking amusement park in Pennsylvania. The park offers over 45 rides, including the "Phoenix" and the "Twister," two of America's largest wooden roller coasters. Knoebels also has an olympic-size public swimming pool and an Anthracite Museum, which houses a large collection of mining tools and other memorabilia of the days when coal was king.

Reservations: To make your reservations for Kampers near Knoebels, please contact Indian Head Campground directly and tell them you're with the VW Buses camping group. Price is $20.70 per night which includes water & electric. (Price reflects a discounted rate based on 10 reservations. Normal price is $23.00.) Payment of first night is required to hold your spot. Also, please send us an email (bastiles@att.net) and tell us that you're planning on attending so we can have an idea of numbers. Indian Head Campground 340 Reading Street Bloomsburg, PA 17815 (570) 784-6150 (Directions to campground will be posted at a later date.)

What Happened to Busses by the Trail? After several complaints about Blue Rocks Campground including the nightly rate and other issues, Karl Bloss was considering a move of Busses by the Trail to another locale. Karl, Ben, and Lynn started talking about combining the events while attending Westies in the Woods over Memorial Day 2001. We're certain that those who attended Busses by the Trail in the last 3 years will enjoy Kampers near Knoebels. While mid-October is a wonderful time for foliage in Pennsylvania, Knoebels is closed by that time. As a result, the event has been moved up to the beginning of September. If anyone is interested in an impromptu event during the PA foliage season in mid- October, e-mail Karl: bloss@enter.net Questions? If you have any questions feel free to contact Ben and Lynn Stiles at bastiles@att.net or 717-687-7558.
