Paul -
I tried to check that link for your pics, but it calls for a password.
Larry, what gives? How can we see the reviews?

:::Joy is right, there are a million SAFE places to camp for FREE in

:::While at Seabreeze we met a family of locals who were picnicking.
:::They told us "a couple weeks ago there was a VW van like yours but
