Chris,

We did indeed take lots of PICS. I am looking for a photo site to park
them as my FTP space is full. I may just archive the old PICS from
previous VOR's and park the new photos there.

Once the other PICS taken by other attendees finish trickling in, I'll
sort it all out for others to enjoy.

It was a beautiful sunny day in South San Francisco, California. I
must pronounce the event a smashing success despite my failure to get
the pizzas and late change of directions. Things got so hectic that
there was no time to run for pizzas. Anyway, it seemed thoroughly
unnecessary as all the guys and the few women who came to support
their boys were busy milling about between the various engine & body
modified Vanagons. There were buses, campers, and dokas in attendance.
I thought we had foru but turned out to be three dokas there. There
were Westies both factory original and conversions. There was at least
one Country Homes poptop. Lots of buses. All in all, a lot of precious
metal to see.

More to come soon. I am just getting home now and it's well into the
next day. Funny that as I live across the street from the park where
the event was held.

To be continued...
