Last year out of about 200 VW vans only about 10 were Vanagons at the
great Buses By The Bridge in Lake Havasu. We were mostly all clustered
together, surrounded by a sea of split windows and bays. This year out
of at least 250 VW vans, about 50 Vanagons were there. This time they
were interspersed all around the event in addition to the main cluster
of us. I wondered if these were mostly new VW van owners or people who
have moved up from older models to the cream of the crop, IMO. In any
case, it made for a big difference in the way I perceived the event
since I no longer felt at all like an interloper. All of the event
posters, badges, shirts, displays, quilts, etc.were still completely
devoid of any Vanagon images. I wonder if and when that will change.
