Title: WoodsTock Vintage Camper Weekend
Post by: lovebus (jack) on August 17, 2015, 09:02:16 am
Turned out to be a great weekend, the days were hot but not to hot and the nights really cooled down enough to have a blanket on. We had 9 club buses show but only two vintage trailers. I think I counted 20 members at the Pot Luck dinner and movie and around 6 others that joined us for a fun time.  11&*

We started Sat. off with a Nature Walk guided by Michelle a park guide and she made it very interesting with the facts and history of the park.

Sounds like a fun time. We had planned to stop down on Saturday afternoon but a pesky stomach bug changed that plan.     -vomit\

Any talk about trying it again next year?

It really was a nice time.

We presented the trophy for the nicest vintage camper to Sharon & Paul Dempsey for their beautifully restored 1961 Shasta. Look closely at the trophy and the trailer pics... Talk about coincidence!
