I was out of town or I would have been volunteering there, as I live real
close.  Interestingly, I bought my Westy for exactly this purpose - camping
at cycling events.  Unfortunately, with my wife's work schedule and the work
I've been doing in making the Westy road worthy (translation: reliable),
we've yet to use it for that.  I suppose the Westy's are a bit more popular
among the cycling community than big RVs.

Speaking of cycling, anyone ready to part with a used, reasonably priced
receiver hitch so I can use my existing bike rack?  I'm looking for the one
that bolts onto the tow hooks.

Regards,
Rich
