OK We're going!Getting out of Puget Sound, But we're new to this. Any tips, advice on the "camp ground"
reservations/no reservations ? Is there a section for vanagons etc,etc..

our other vessel is a 47' ketch. That makes going down I-5 at 50 mph in the Westy seem like light speed!

Thinking about making the trek from Eureka, CA this year. Always wanted to go - never made the trip though. Im assuming it's two days there and back, so 4 days driving and 3 days at the event.

sounds like a good vacation.

Speaking of which.

QUESTION.

WHY is it that SO much space is wasted with the grassy area? I mean... there are people camped on it along the edges...why not more in the middle.
Its a HUGE space every year that has NOTHING in it.

I ask this question for the masses. Im in the vegas area so it doesnt really affect me. But im sure with the new beach rule, that it would help if another 20 buses could camp on the grass.

Thanks for any info. Dave

I think it's because you can't have a fire on the grass and it's damn cold.

good point for sure. But i know some folks dont have fires cause they hang out at other camps, and their rigs have heaters in em.
So those folks could use the lawn and leave the firey types for the dirt areas.

The grass area is kept open mainly for the kids to play on, the bouncy and just general safety, etc.. There is more then enough room for everyone to camp through out the whole area and we're not going to start the "grass area" argument again.

This event is put on mainly to raise the money we donate to kids charities and to get the VW Bus and general VW lovers together.

To start trivial shit over how and why the LBB does things is a waste of our and every ones time. We will try to keep everyone informed on things related to the event of whats happening and if there are changes.

Please remember that the LBB has been doing this for 17 years, We think we know what we are doing, every one seems to have a great time .

If anyone has a problem with how we run the event , a suggestion, comment (negative) etc. please keep it private and p-mail a member of the LBB board for an answer.

This thread is to keep people informed of what is going on so they can prepare.

Damn, I assumed BBB would be the second weekend of the month like it usually is. I didn't look for a thread, I generally find it on the events page. It's not there!! My fault for assuming of course, but listing it on the events page is a must.

Woot. I was able to change shifts with a coworker, however, I have to work early Tuesday this year, so I will be looking for a ride down then ill fly back from a city TBD last year it was Phoenix. Hell, I may even spring for one if them fancy Motel rooms.
Anyone traveling down from PDX area need a copilot? Lots of time off(2 weeks)before.

Buses by the Bridge is always on MLK weekend, wherever it falls during the month.

BBB will be listed in the events listings in a week or so after we have our next meeting and figure out what and when things are happening at the event.
Everything should pretty much be the same as last year and current info can be found by visiting www.busesbythebridge.com.

Thanks to everyones that comes and welcome to new and old friends. BBB is a FAMILY FRIENDLY event.
