Last weekend, lessons learned

Friday night last week I packed up the bus and headed for the mountains.  I must confess that camping in the Rockies is one of my favourite things to do.  However it seems that every year I seem to forget that this early in the camping season that the overnight temperatures drop down to 5 - 7 degrees.. That s about 41-47 degrees for the Yanks.  

I have to say though the bus performed amazingly well, no breakdowns and my only complaint is that is was chilly in the morning.  Suck it up butter cup!  

I don't think I am going to make it out this weekend as I have some stuff to attend to in the city.  As much as I would LOVE to hit the road, I'm going to stick it out and probably go to the Club Vee-dub event at 5th Avenue VW.  Kind of a gathering of Dubs.  Hopefully there are some air cooled vehicles there because at the last event there were only a handful.

On another topic entirely I was talking to Eric about Camper Jam Canada last night and we were talking about how to grow the event.   Initially the Camper Jam was set up around busses but I suggested that we expand to allow other Dubs.  Maybe some Beetles? Air cooled?  If you have an opinion, I'd love to hear it!!

Short and sweet today.  I'll try and post again on the weekend , maybe even "live" from Fifth Avenue VW.
