Hi Volks,

I just joined the Vanagon list... My Dad has two A/C vanagons and is
interested in a waterboxer, and asked me to do some research for him.

I thought this would be a good time to send out a reminder about the
True Canadian Winter Bus Campout taking place Saturday Feb 28th to
Sunday Feb 29th. Actually, a good time to tell you all about it would
have been a couple weeks ago, but I wasn't on the list then.  You don't
have to be Canadian to attend, but you will have to be able to camp in
winter.

The event will be held at Valens Conservation Area in Cambridge
Ontario. (Between Cambridge and Hamilton) This park has serviced
campsites about 35 minutes east of Toronto and less than two hours from
the US Border.

Valens doesn't take reservations in winter, but I have been assured
that we won't really need any, there would be LOTS of serviced sites
available for us on the weekend of February 28th. The parks has heated
washrooms, showers and laundry machines.  They also have ice fishing
and cross country skiing available in the park. If you're planning to
fish, please get a license beforehand.

The event info site is at:
http://www.pottsfamily.ca/The_Bug_Pack/TCWBC/

You need to bring $7 in change to operate the gate in case it is
unattended. Pay your way in, then find a campsite and set up. The park
staff will eventually come around and register you, deducting the $7
from your fees. Campsites cost only $25.50 CDN, and food should run
about $10 or so. The event info site has the menu posted if you're
interested.

If you're planning on coming please let me know, there's also a group
menu you can opt in on if you don't wanna do any cooking.


Happy trails,
