Camp, Day 1..

At the community shelter, Frank and Sixer were tearing into the *project* of the moment.. Removing the engine/trannie from one bus and trying to breathe new life into HapyBus. For the uninitiated, it all looked highly impressive, very oily/greasy and tuns of fun!! I snapped of a few momento's of the moment while Sixer was still under the donor bus happily tugging on wrench...

I headed off to greet the New York State Posse massed at the far end of the field..

They were a blast, crazy and having a great time. We exchanged a few pleasantries and jokes before I headed back to the main group.

I took some more pictures of Tribers setting up their buses and then greeted the Canadian Ambassador of VW-ism, Mr Greg Potts. He had his bus *BoB, the Tomato* next to a large plot of campground that was subtly turned into *Camp Canada* under the familiar White Tarp and decorations for the 3 days!! After bugging him about his exploits and family holiday in Ohio.. He nicely agreed to pose with SunnyBus's Mascot, BlueBear (who is from Vancouver, Canada..) Then Mr Dan and I walked about the Camp admiring the other buses, and getting to know the new people a little better:

We met some wonderful folks..(Click on any picture to enlarge.)"

It was time for us to return to SunnyBus and take off for Mansfield..

We were going on a Ghost hunt!!
