On February 10-11th, 2007, plan on being at the 3rd Annual Buses by the
Beach Bus BRR! at Pokagon State Park in Angola, Indiana.   Lots of crock pot
chili (courtesy of the electric hook ups) a really crazy dual refrigerated
toboggan run, and much camaraderie around the big fire.  Last year, we got
2" of snow while tobogganing, then came back to a nice warm fire (Thanks,
Rick Mangona-Suite '78!) and several different kinds of hot chili.  Then the
clouds parted and the moon came out in a crystal clear sky.  One of those
special moments where you wonder why everybody doesn't own a bus and do fun
things like this.

We lined our poptops with mylar trouble blankets, ran the little electric
heaters and wore hats (thanks Greg Potts) and never got cold.  We fought
over who would have Mac, our Golden Retriever sleep near them.  Had a candle
going in the bus, too.  Really cozy.
