Hey Folks,
If you have not already seen this information about
upcoming Westies @ Watkins 2006 - please see below.
This a great fall camping event here in upstate New York
and Sunday we get to take our vans on the world famous Watkins Glen Race
track for a harrowing ride of sharp chicanes and curves!
All at 45mph +++ [!!!] woo! woo!
Provided I get track down my temp sensor/ignition/coil gremlins -
Eric and I will be there serving up Hot Chocolate in
Standard, Baileys and Kahlua high octanes.
Thanks to Joel Cort for organizing this!
See you on the race track-

Hello Everyone,
Last ditch effort and opportunity to shamelessly advertise and invite
you back for another campout at Watkins Glen, New York on the last weekend
of September.
Hey! that is coming up soon.
This will be our 5th year for WESTIES AT WATKINS. If you have not
seen last year's info/article check out the website:
http://www.limbobus.org/InvitationW@W2006.htm
CAMPING INFORMATION - NO RESERVATIONS required.
I have changed (and hopefully improved) the campout reservation
process/issues to try and keep us all as a group. What I did was to
reserve the Camper's Recreation Building at Watkins Glen State Park,
which is a
covered field house. There is a large field with a baseball diamond next
to this pavilion
with ample room for all of us.
There are limited resources but we are self contained in our campers and
there this enclosed pavilion with lights and electricity, bathrooms and
picnic
tables. Warm showers are also available at the neighboring Tuscarora
loop.
More important on cool nights - a campfire to tell volks tales.
The beauty here is that you do not need to make any reservations with
the State Park or some website. No long term planning or reservations
required. SO just drive up to the ranger shack and tell them that you
are with the VW group. they will have a special rate. I think they told
me around $20 per night but it may change depending on the number of
vans
that show up. It may be less not more.
I just checked with the Park and early arrivals on Thursday will be OK
in this area too.
The events on Sunday are changed a bit also. We drive up to the gate at
the racetrack and register there and pay $15 there for 3 or so laps on
the track. No meal commitments or requirements.
Pet Owner information:
DO NOT leave dogs unattended anywhere in the park.
No dogs allowed on Gorge Trail.
Pet owners must show current rabies certificate. ( for their pets )
If you need any further info or this is not clear, please let me know.
Contact me for additional details on this event.
