Info:
Buses by the Bridge 16 update;

Good news for the early birds arriving on Thursday

VW Howard "Dice Run" is back (updates on this as the time get closer)

Thursday night "on-site" camping is being allowed next year. This nows make BBB a 4 day event

Another BBB First. On-site showers, yes you heard it right "showers". The LBB are bringing is a shower trailer. This trailer has 3 full shower/bathrooms so now no excuse for not bringing the wife and family, they can shower.

The fees for BBB 16 are as follows;
Thursday through Sunday 40 dollars
Friday through Sunday 30 dollars
Saturday through Sunday 20 dollars

This is per vehicle not person

Remember this is a VW BUS camp-out for VW Buses in the event area. If you do not have a bus you're still welcome to come. We have ample parking for other cars, trucks, campers, motor homes and trailers with plenty of room for tent camping also.

BBB 2012 is already shaping up to be another great event.

Hey Eric, Howard here. Don't know why other forum was locked, think it was so no misleading info got posted. It was voted on at the last meeting
to only have one LBB member do the posting with consent of other members. We were hoping to stop confusion on event, guess it didn't help, may have been a mistake. Anyway event starts around 2PM Thurs Jan. 12th with early setup, gates will close at 9PM Thurs so Cory,Art,Matt can get some sleep and be ready to stay up all night Fri for buses coming in. Dice run will start at Windsor at 4PM Thurs, and will end at Windsor about 6PM with awards and pizza. Check BBB posting on Community for more info.

Any 'regulations' we need to be aware of?

Tue Oct 11, 2011 6:35 am

Non that I am aware of Eric, only complaint from Park Rangers about
last year was the use of the showers and that was only because some of the registered campers in the Windsor #3 area complained. We should have that covered with the portable shower trailer that will be at event. I'm still in Denver and will be home by 1st of next week and we will set up a LBB meeting and get things posting again I hope. It was a very busy summer for most of us and it is time to hit BBB full time again.

No word yet huh? Well, I have a question. Who had the kids painting the bus that one year? Was thinking of doing this for Halloween. Where did you get the paint? How much was needed? Did it wash off easy? Heck, I'll even do it for BBB. It's a split so I can park it on the grass right? :P

Any craft store should have a water based paint you could use. You should use a lowered bus though since kids will be painting it. :)

Before jumping head first into that gig, make sure to protect "areas" you'd rather not have paint on it before driving it home! :wink:
