What's the crazy eyes for Ivan?
It's going to be great! I live close and have always wanted a bus camp there. I checked it out with VTO about a month ago and it's going to be awesome.
Lay the details on them Steve!!

New location, If your not familiar with it, is close to the 91 and the 71 freeway. Bigger place, better set up, nicer bathrooms, RV spots with hookups for out of town non bus people. The biggest complaint about Blackstar was that the camp was long and thin, where this place is big and round ( hold the chick jokes fellas ). We should be able to allow people to set out parts for sale. Its a little further than Blackstar on the map, but shorter drive time cause its closer to the freeway.

I'll miss the third tier, but I won't miss the walk up the hill. 8)

Black Star, Cornerstone, Prado. It don't matter! It's camping with VEEEEeeeeeTEEEEeeeeOOOOOOOOOooooooooo!, friends, busses, Summer OCTO! and all the other stuff that comes with the week.

However you want to mix it up... cruises, rallies, car shows, swaps, BBQs, cook offs, open houses etc etc. A jammed packed week of fun , VWs, and friends!

Is it June YET?

Almost 50 miles closer for us Arizonians :D :D Will miss the busavan

around the circle on the way to OCTO though :( :( unless we

detour :D :D Can't wait to see new site, sounds great. Hey Christine,

"a penny saved is a penny earned" :D Johnny, found one of those small

MB hub caps in great shape, need a spare for your scootter? Trade for a

beer.

Thu Mar 04, 2010 7:47 pm

Heck Yeah John, I need another cap. We forgot to mention that there's a place there that rents horses, if anybody wants to go riding. There's a huge playground for the kids with a cool water play area. Its gonna be sweet.

Fri Mar 05, 2010 5:25 am

Sounds like it's gonna be great!!! 8) =D> :lol:
And closer to the freeways for sure... :wink:
Hopefully I get the wife to hook it up on the Rice Krispy Treats!!! :P LOL

I personally didn't like BlackStar when we first camped there, but after a couple of times it grew on me. Hopefully this new venue will do so too! 8)

It's not too terribly far west of the 15 @ Corona . . . much closer for us (when you were in Vegas) and I hear it is PIMP . . .
