Can't wait Justin, whats another 20mi. see ya there again this year. The Bus Rally Roadcourse sounds like fun. 2@@cool
Just put the new address in my GPS.
-
Just a reminder Volks, you don't have to have a bus for this event, a bug and a tent is also welcome.
Video from last year, two parts. This will be our 5th year going to this event.

Too Far... Just kidding, see you there!

Yu better be there or 4$whack
-
Otay! After crunching some numbers...or at least I think so...the distance is only 14.1 miles further than Shadybrook. clap2-*
And YES!! This is NOT strictly a Bus event! We have had Things, Bugs, and even Squarebacks. We love all of our air-cooled family and hope to see ANYONE who enjoys camping and VWs!
4.5 hrs ain't bad at all. I attend EveryBus(8 hrs) NaturalBus(6 hrs) and Flanders(6 hrs) Longer trip means more to see and enjoy. If you love and take care of your VW, your VW will love and take care of you when traveling.
-
Hey Justin,
Looking forward to it as always. Can't wait to do the Bus Rally road course.
The best thing about this event is all the great people!

Ha ha, how can you resist....
Matt will even be there, but he'll be there the week before so we won't get to see him.
-
Only if Sophia's issues are fixed first..
Ahh yes.. Matt and his "fashionably early" habit... So do you tell him it's the following week so he'll show up the right day??? #@rofl3
-
Yup...Ya don't want to miss this one Karen. We all travel together so have no fear. You'll only have to get to 206 & hook up with Yucell & Michelle in Tabernacle. From there I'll join in Atco and over to Jacks and pick up others. From there to the Del Mem Bridge & we pick up a few more. And then a few more. We stop for lunch just north of Harrisburg. Then onto the last leg....
-
Then I'll have to make sure Sophia is in tip top shape, and sharpen my tent set up skills...lol
-
And once you get past Harrisburg, traffic gets better and the views are great!
-
Let me say it now...do NOT take route 235!! I repeat DO NOT TAKE route 235! You, your engine, your brakes, and possibly your insurance will thank you!! KILLER hills combined with sharp turns!
Take 11/15 north to 104. Follow 104 through Middleburg and to Penns Creek. Just past Penns Creek, you will turn left onto Creek Road. Follow to campground lane.
-
WOW, sounds like fun, 235 here we come. clap2-*
Just kidding, 11/15, 104 is the way we always go. I think?
-
Ha ha, how can you resist....
Matt will even be there, but he'll be there the week before so we won't get to see him.
HAH! I only do that for the club members just to make sure everything is up to spec! Just liket the Clayton Memorial Day Parade, - now did'nt that go well on the acutal day? thumpup)-
We are planing on making this one!

The shirts will be black this year. Maybe a choice of Ash grey. But I would like to offer sweatshirts and long sleeves this year, too! More details to follow!
Thanks! Justin

You da man! **^bana0
Good idea on the sweatshirts clap2-*

Where we will be camping at Granny Grose's this year in about 5 weeks.

-
That is the field attached to the campground. You don't have to camp in the 16 acre field...unless you want to!
We have roughly 23 sites for us all to share in the campground. There is an area where about 40-50 Buses can gather. Then a few areas where groups of Buses can gather. More big groups and less Buses here and there on every other site.
The field makes a nice overflow if we continue to grow. Also it's where we will hold the Bus obstacle course. (*driving)

And those Bus tents are to real Bus size. :-)
Had a few people at Volkfest ask if they could still order shirts. So I am extending the Tshirt preorders due to my slackin this year. Sorry for my lack of emails and heads ups on Tshirts.
So, if you email or contact me to let me know what size...and lady's or men's shirts you want, I will take orders until about 7pm tomorrow night. You can still send a check, money order or paypal.
All shirt details can be found at http://www.grannygrosesbuses.com/
Thanks, Justin
-
So what happens if someone can't get up there until Friday night or Saturday? Will there be space left?
-
Karen, with the new place, keeping groups together wont be a big problem. As long as your club settlers save space for your gang, it wont be a problem. We have no problem with people findin a spot and savin room for the whole gang.

Or, I do have extra room in my bus ad-a-room 34angle

Thanks Tyler thumpup)-
For any of those looking to possibly rent a cabin.... too late. They have none available.
This was part of their response though, "We are looking forward to this event our self...and see you all soon. Thanks .. From Ron and Irene" clap2-*
Looks like a nice campground. doublethumb

So thinking about bringing the projector along incase we want to watch another fire side movie like at freeze your bus off. Any movie sugestions? Keep in mind there will be kids around so the amount of blood and gore along with nudity should be considered while thinking (did that come from me?) but other then that im willing to try and find any requests.

lol i can honestly say i did not expect that but i will see what i can do.

Karen, the only thing that we ask that you bring VW related....is your love of VWs. That's it. Whether you drive a Bus, Bug, or Subaru Outback. Yes, I have attended Bus campouts in a Subaru Outback. Your main reason for wantin to go is to be with your friends and camp...that's all that matters. The VWs are just a background when havin good times around a campfire.
Yes, unfortunately, there are not any avaialble rentals. All were pre reserved before we moved locations late winter.
Movie projector sounds awesome! I have some VW related stuff. A fun movie for all is 50 first dates with Adam Sandler...and has a VW Thing throughout the movie. I actually tried to get VW Bus the Movie...but it's not available yet.
Do you guys have a rough number of how many VWs/tents your group will have?
-
At least 5 Justin
As for Karen, I have the TajMaTent and 2 cots that you are welcome to. The tent has enough room for 10 people
-
Thanks Shawn, I have a tent. If attending, I may (will) require assistance ( probably total assembly) setting it up. 12blush

Slight snag and im not talking about my bus not starting at the moment. Rose has to work till 1pm so we will be a couple hours behind you so save me a spot with enough room for the side tent which would be good for viewing the movies. Shawn sugested a winner

Mom is making a fresh batch tonight just for you jack

The Road Runner is getting packed up as we speak! :)
I won't be able to hit the road until Friday morning, though, so I'll get there around noon (I think). Will someone please hold a spot for my 78 Westy? I'll have my two boys with me (ages 6 and 7) and our little pup, Kona (she's a 5 month old Goldendoodle). Hubby will be rolling in Friday evening. I hope there is parking for extra vehicles. Also, does anyone happen to know if the campsites will have picnic tables, or do we need to bring our own?
Thanks for the help! Looking forward to a fun weekend!
~Claire
-
We'll hold a spot for you. We'll just keep repeating "Claire's coming with the Champagne"
The volunteers to help hold your spot will come out of the wood work
-
Packing now
-
Me too.
-
Claire if you have a table its a good idea to bring it.
-
I'm REALLY torn between this and other obligations..... right now it doesn't look good, but hope things will change...
If not, wishing y'all a great time!
I'm not too happy &(rage_
Matt
-
What other obligations do you have?!
-
Life is to short to not be happy.
Comon kv, pack up that tent!!!

Wish I could, but at this point I can't even lift the tent to pack it.

All packed and gassed up (*driving) @campfiresmiley

Haha. Taking a break after getting mostly loaded.
There was seriously bad rain up there yesterday.
The campground was deluged.
It was completely dry today & 78 degrees but it's still pretty soggy.
Bring your LL Beans, just in case
-
No, it's not that Jack. My back and hips are causing me a lot of problems right now, and driving for 4.5 hours (each way) and sleeping on the ground would kill me. Sorry all.. just can't do it. Hopefully we'll have another camping event this summer.
Ahh soggy ground and tents = bad combination.

Anybody plan on meeting us along the way???????

Latest from Justin:
Ignore the Road Closed signs on Creek Road. They lead you to believe that the road is completely closed. It's not.
DO NOT take 235 off of 15. Two BIG climbs. One between 15 and 522 then another from 522 up over to Creek Road.
I suggest followin 15 to 104. You come through rather than over.
Take 15 to 104 North. Follow 104 through Middlebury and Penns Creek. Turn Left onto Red Ridge Road. It will come to T. Turn Left onto Creek Road. Follow Creek Road straight to camp! Road ends after bridge and turns into camp lane. Look for 12 inch black and yellow signs starting at 104 and Red Ridge Road.

Fallowing your GPS way up 104. Right after the town of Penn Creek you'll come down a 6% grade (like a mile long drop) at the bottom is Red Ridge Rd. turn left.
