These pictures were taken at
an undisclosed campground and only attended by a close knit group of VW
Bus aficionados. At this gathering were some 6 buses with their owners,
family and guests, 6 or 7 dogs, enough wood to keep a roaring campfire
going 24 hours for three days and a gourmet menu that consisted of deep
fried turkey, enough homemade baked beans to feed a small army, scrambled
and fried eggs with bacon and homemade sausage, homemade bread toasted
over the open fire, out of this world coffee and the largest pot roast
I've ever seen, cooked with carrots, onions, seasoning, German beer and a
few other ingredients. It was tough to have to leave. The campground is in
a deep forest encompassing some 22,000 acres and not far from a mountain
called Mt. Misery (Elevation 441 ft. Not really a mountain but just a
overgrown anthill). The campground is named after the mountain and with
evening low temperatures at 13 degrees and the daytime high just above
freezing and camping can be a bit of a "misery". You need more
than a GPS to find your way to it and then get out safely. It's only
camping for the strongest and hardy of Bus People. Even the local Sheriff
stopped by to see how things were going in his Sheepskin winter coat!. --NCL |
