Subject:      sept 9-11th Montreal ralley of the International WESTFALIA
              Camping Car Club (IWCCC)
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII

Any one going? to the IWCCC fall rally? ( http://www.westfalia.qc.ca/en/bienvenu.asp ) it's the closest that this group gets to most of the US. With Montreal only 1.5hours from ALbany NY, and less then 4 from syracuse, NY

I'll be there in my outlaw ASI camper. with a few VWCCNY campers. trying to find Frank Condelli.

the Valleyfield event is West of Montreal. Just before getting on the island of Montreal The IWCCC members are mostly French speaking and you will not hear much English spoken BUT Frank Condelli , Joel Cort & I will be there as well as a few other English speaking persons. the organisers and workers at the event do speak English. You will definitely be a foreigner but that should be fun amongst 300 ~ 400 other campers !

Here is some information:

Directions: Take highway 401, which becomes highway 20 in Quebec. Take

exit 14, Valleyfield (pont Mgr Langlois). Cross the bridge and at the first intersection at the end of the bridge, make a left turn on boul. du Bord-de-l'eau until the first stop sign. Then turn left at the stop et

cross the small bridge to go onto the island. Continue until the end of the road straight infront and you will arrive in the Camp Bosco parking lot.

Here is the address (you can google it or mapquest it, just to be on the safe side): 663, boul. Bord-de-l'eau J6S 4V3 (450) 371-6825 Web sites: www.rocler.qc.ca/bosco/ or www.tourisme-suroit.qc.ca

Prices (CAD$): 1 night=30$, 2 nights=40$, 3 nights=50$, each additional night=10$

Some sites have electricity.

Payment is cash only (no credit or debit cards). There is an ATM nearby.

IMPORTANT: this is not really a campground. There is no drinkable water. You have to bring your own provision of water. A water supply truck may be coming on Saturday (10 September). But not confirmed yet. Also, there are no concession stands (grocery store or diner). So bring your own food.

The town is not far away though (easily accessible by bike or with your vehicle).

thought I'd pass this info along for those int he NE not attending the great Buses by the buoy.
