Hi Volks, I figured that I'd try and post a reminder before we all get too busy with the Holidays... The first Canadian bus gathering of the year is only 9 weeks away. If you've never camped in winter you should consider giving it a try... with the proper preparations you can be just as comfortable as in summer. Valens Conservation Area has plenty of winter activities... Cross Country Skiing, Skating, and Ice fishing are just a few suggestions. If those don't appeal then there's will always be a warm space for your chair around the campfire. If you have any musical talent please bring an instrument along as there will be people to jam with. This will be the fourth annual gathering and we're hoping to have more buses than ever make the trip to the TCWBC. Be assured that the facilities of the campground are top-notch and there will be flush toilets and warm indoor showers available at the comfort station located a short distance from our campsite. All of the sites we occupy are supplied with 30A of electricity so there plentiful power availableto keep your camper toasty and warm. I can guarantee that there will be no mosquitos or black flies and you should expect to use a minimal amount of sunscreen, if any. If you hate camping because of insects, this is the campout for YOU. A group dinner will be served up on Saturday night, and a traditional FMBC Breakfast Burrito feasting will occur on Sunday morning. Please bring a couple bucks to chip in on dinner, and a contribution to the breakfast is also requested. I'll be announcing a web-based burrito contribution form online closer to the event date. "Bus Conservatists" who prefer not to drive their Precious German Iron in the winter are also welcome to attend the event. There's a number of hotels and motels in Cambridge located within minutes of the campground, including a Travelodge and a Super 8.
