Buses By the Depot
and Annual Bus Depot Warehouse Sale
Saturday, Oct. 2, 2010
Camp for $15, or make it a day trip for Free!
What it is:
A gathering of VW Bus, Vanagon, and Eurovan enthusiasts in Eastern Pennsylvania
When it is:
Saturday, October 2, 2010. Camping is available on-site either Saturday night or all weekend long ... or you can just attend for the day.
Where it is:
Green Lane Park, Green Lane, PA. Located in the scenic Perkiomen Valley, roughly midpoint between Philadelphia, Allentown, and Reading, PA. From the intersection of Route 63 and Route 29 (Gravel Pike) in Green Lane, travel south 1.7 miles on Rt. 29, turn right onto Deep Creek Road (just past the crosswalk), and turn right at the lake (first intersection). The campground is just up the road on the right.
This scenic county park consists of over 3400 acres and three bodies of water totaling 870 acres. Four recreational activity sites within the park offer a variety of uses, including 50 camping sites, hiking and horseback trails, three tennis courts, two playgrounds, a nature center, an enclosed pavilion, fishing, and electric boat rentals. The park is also the starting point for the Perkiomen Trail, a walking/cycling trail that extends 20 miles to Valley Forge National Historical Park and then connects to the Schuylkill River Trail, which follows the Schuylkill River an additional 11 miles past Boathouse Row to the Philadelphia Art Museum.
Van-a-Ru is working on a "deal" with da Depot. At the very least we will have great sites at the camp ground

Jay has secured the large site 13 & the ajoining sites.
The plan is to go up Friday afternoon & come home Sunday morning.
It's $15 a night per vehicle (Jay working on a group rate)
So far it's the Fabulous Lovebus, Van-a-Ru, Ratbus(AKA the Sultan of Sweetwater), Idiot-Syncro-Sees, Blahaha & Firelady's Orange Bus Fri & Sat,
with The Campmobile! Friday nite only & AstroSmurf Saturday night only.
If you want to camp let us know by this weekend so Jay can secure enough space to keep the entire group together.
This should be a blast! Great group & not too far to travel. BTW Bus Depot has Beetle Stuff too!
Who else is going???
-
Michelle and I plan to attend this event, maybe pickup a spare tire and a few other parts ;)
If you have never been to this park, let me tell you it's fantastic! Beautiful scenery and plenty to do. We plan on biking throughout the park.
If you own a Bus or Vanagon and want to talk about your ride, this is the place to be. Even if just for the day you will not be disappointed.

Weather wise the upcoming Weekend Looks like it's going to be Beautiful all we need to do is get through this week of rain and the weather looks to clear late week for a Sunny and mild BusDepot weather weekend.
Remember we have the two large sites #13 & 14 for those that have committed to the event your name has been submitted so Ron from BusDepot knows who you are, each site will hold 3 buses and a couple tents.
I'd Like to hit the road mid morning to let the rush hour traffic clear for "Scare-d-Crow"
Who's bringing what foods? I picked up 5lbs of Dogs to knawl at over the weekend, and making a Zitti casorole for the Pot Luck Diner. Probably make a little extra to go along with Jacks Friday night Chilly.
-
Tyler, can you bring rolls?

How you re-heating Ziti at a campground?
Still trying to figure it out what to bring
-
How you re-heating Ziti at a campground?
I took Ziti to slow riders last year and used a camp stove. I guess you could also heat it over a camp fire or use a solar oven if the sun is out. Another way would be to put it on the engine while it is running or you may even put it in front of the heater you use in the bus or tent. Still another way................well, you get the idea, don't you?
-
No...Cause I have one of these....

Or, he could use your oven.

Won't be making this one guys, hoping to make Slumber Slam or whatever it's called.

OK I'm ready. All packed & loaded except for food that goes in the coooler (http://www.jonrb.com/emoticons/ban-cha.gif)

Hey Guys in order to reserve our sites I paid for 6 of you for 2 nights. For those of you that summitted your names, and committed to this event yes the sites are paid for that's $180 bucks out of my pocket so since you agreed your still responsible for your commitment of $15.00 per night.
By the way I spoke with BusDepot today and the sites are sold out and they had to go into the overflow areas. We can squeeze a couple of ten Campers on our sites if anyone is is considering attending and doing so?
No...Cause I have one of these....
