But of course, what possible reason would there be not to open it up to all
buses?
Was someone who lives right near there going to go over and scout? Could
you perhaps talk to the park about the logistics of getting a bunch of
spaces together, and let us know? If they only take cash, then presumably
no money is needed in advance to reserve spots anyway.

:::well it's "official"....this event will be called "Buses by the Depot"
:::not
:::only because of its close proximity to Busdepot.com, (Ron approved the
:::event
:::name) but there is alot of old railroad history in that area.. ive
:::traveled
:::backroads around there, and there are many old railroad sidings and
:::railroad
:::depots, and you can see alot of places where old early 1900's railroad
:::tracks
:::running across the road have been filled in, when the railroads became
:::more obsolete
:::as commercial trucking and personal automobiles became more popular..
:::
:::anyway, im hoping the turnout will be good. i personally am only on the
:::vanagon lists now - since i got rid of all my baywindows i havent been on
:::the
:::type2 lists lately.. what do you all think about opening this up to
:::ALL vw vans
:::- from old splitties to baywindows, to new eurovans...not just vanagons?
:::let
:::me know how you all feel about that. this way it could even gain
:::recognition as a LiMBO sanctioned event if we turn this into a yearly
:::thing..
:::
:::also, its been suggested that in order for us (or should i say you all,
:::since i wont be camping :<) to get campsites right next to eachother -
:::then it
:::might make sense to collect pre-paid reservations for adjoining spots
:::(camping
:::is $15 per nite) - so that way you arent sandwiched between "Joe Dirt"
:::and his
:::double wide '78 'Bago ratbox playing 'Skynrd all night long and swilling
:::moonshine..or something like that.. LOL anyway, its up to y'all.
:::this time of
:::year im sure the campground will hardly be packed though.. most likely be
:::empty.. but if someone wants to setup a paypal account (my paypal is
:::currently
:::FUBAR) and take reservations, then ron said he would stop by the park
:::and
:::reserve a bunch of adjoining spots once paid reservations are confirmed..
:::(he
:::lives right by the park, i live 20-30 mins away from it)
:::so anyway, the reservation thing would be up to you all..
:::
:::here is a tally of prospective attendees as of 7am EST tues:
:::
:::so far 11 people plan to attend... we need more! people will be coming
:::from all over.. PA, MD, DE, NJ, VA..etc... make it a weekend trip!
