Subject:      June VW Campout in CA: Train Spotting 2- June 11-13, 2010
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed; delsp=yes

Train Spotting 2 is a VW campout located off Highway 70 in Northern
California's Plumas County.  In the inaugural year (2009), we had
about 13 VW busses of all vintages (1959 to 1991) show up for the
event.  This will be the second year and we hope to grow the numbers
and meet new people.  It takes place the weekend before the Deschutes
River VW campout in Oregon, so it will either include those migrating
north to Oregon or provide an alternative to the more northern
gathering.  The campout is located at Hallsted campground, a NFS
campground in Twain, CA.  No showers, but the flush toilets and
running water are lovely.  It is located in an area noted for it's
railroad history, hot springs and very scenic drive through the
Feather River Canyon.  You will hear trains climbing or descending the
rail line on the other side of the Feather River 24/7.

Reservations are now open for Hallsted Campground, June 11-13, 2010.
Site 13 is mine and home for the event. Reservations are not required
- we were the only ones there last year - but it is good to get a core
group of at least 6-10 sites reserved. 2 vehicles per site are allowed
and sharing is encouraged. As it is a small, 20-site campground, the
more real estate we can reserve, the better.  Then, volks can decide
amongst themselves to share.  Sites 6-15 are the best for the
gathering.  Reservations at: www.recreation.gov.

Please consider joining us for this event - it is a mellow, family-
and dog-friendly group which tends to enjoy red wine and campfire
talk.  I am the organizer- feel free to e-mail me with any questions.
