WetWesties:
The Pacific Northwest VW Camping Society.
From the venerable Splitty to the Eurovan. Factory camper to the home built
"Westfakia". If you camp out of your VW you have found the right place!
Do you enjoy the Pacific Northwest's outdoors? Do you admire the engineering
simplicity of those older VW buses, or the refinements of the later Vanagons
and Eurovans? Or perhaps you are aware of the extraordinary design qualities
of Westfalias or the versatility of Syncros...Then this is the right group
for you!
Our "members" (read that in an unofficial/non-bureaucratic/no-fee way) have
a wide variety of backgrounds (an interesting mix, really) but we all share
a common interest in VW buses, traveling, camping and exploring the
beautiful Northwest landscapes.We meet informally throughout the year,
usually for weekend trips, much more frequently during the summer months, in
a very family compatible environment. As an added bonus, I am pleased to say
we have some excellent cooks among our forces, which makes each outing even
more rewarding...The campgrounds chosen are sometimes in very well known and
conveniently located places, other times remote and primitive. It is a great
way to fully know your region, and meet some of the Northwest's best people.
We also meet in cyberspace, through a "list-serv" program, which forwards
e-mail from any one person on the "list" to all others. Click the 'How to
Join' link to the left to subscribe to the mailing list.
From Boise to the Pacific coast, and from Ashland to B.C., this is...
Camping group. Wet ('cause if you camp much here, that's what you get.)
Westies ('cause that's more or less what we camp in.)
