MOVING FINISHED!
I pulled the quote from the Bus Photography thread. Krautski's pic was the inspiration for a much needed bus camp. Can't wait to go again.

Regarding the general grabber tires, are you running the 27/8.5R14s or do you have 15" rims?
The tire/wheel set up looks good. Thanks! _________________ 1979 Westfalia Campmobile Deluxe

I'm in the middle of my evening habit (reading the Samba Bay Window Forum and drinking a glass or two of wine) and my boyfriend walks behind me and the computer and takes a look at this Bus and says quite definitively, "Rugged." I agreed.

in the wilderness? of about 25,000 other people that showed up for the four day festival It is beautiful out there though. (it is in the middle of nowhere) I wish i had gotten parked somewhere a bit closer to the Gorge itself and had a view, but at least i had a companion, and was close enough to clearly hear the music. _________________ 1972 Westfalia Weekender - Sold

We can't really get into the wilderness around here yet as it is all still buried in snow. However, I did manage to get another weekend of camping in this weekend. With all the high country shut down because of the snow, I ended up going to the Cedar Grove area of Kings Canyon NP. Friday night I disperse camped along the river...
but the it was like sleeping (or at least trying to sleep) next to a jet engine test facility that was doing a 24 hour engine test. So, Saturday, after a 9 mile hike up to Mist Falls (awesome conditions with all the runoff right now), I actually paid the $18 for a campsite. Here are a couple of shots on the way home.
The bus ran flawlessly and about 10 degrees cooler than it did on memorial weekend when I made the same trip )despite the fact that the ambient temps were higher and some bozo evidently forgot to put the clips back on the distributor cap) .
I met a guy with a '78 and had a great conversation with him. (Forgive me if you are reading this but I forgot your name). I find it amazing how many instant friends you have when you drive a bus but I like it! _________________ Ken
