Yes I was. And no, I had nothing to do with the decision.

If I knew there was going to be a doggo, I would have quit work to attend. Laughing

If I may,

After 2 prior attempts at this thing, then worry of C-19 and fuel costs keeping everyone away, it was great to hang out with all that came! Car, no car, 1 day, 5 days, 100 miles or 3000 miles you showed up and something happened: smiles! Lots and lots of smiles! I don't know about you all, but I needed smiles! Thank you.
In addition, this little band of folks donated $1400 to a local charity, Family Resource Center of the Redwoods, and that is beyond awesome!
Community happened! From the tech session, to the late night chats to conversation over food... again, awesome!
Just a couple more things: how about that weather? Wow!!! And, I had a conversation with the owner of the Curly Redwood Lodge. He was very impressed with you! Impressed with your spirit, the treatment of his family and self monitoring. Heck, he let people on the roof (through his own home) for pictures. Who does that?
Thank you for a fantastic weekend!

I didn't think you would pick yourself. Just curious as to how his memory was honored.

For pushing the Invasion for 20 years gives a good reason for you to have it. Congratulations and thankyou for being a great ambassador for the VW Type 3 Cool 🤙

Hey all, I am missing one name. He drives a 64 Notchback on Mahle 4 lug wheels. It is a beautiful car!
If you know it, him or both please message me, in case he doesn't want his name in the thread.

Thank you

Thank you all for the pix and updates!
It sucks having to miss an Invasion - it just wasn't going to work out for us this time. Sorry to see John had to do another tech session ON Sophy - brought back a lot of good Hershey memories, though!

Already looking forward to the next Invasion, and Elwood is chomping to get back out on another road trip.

Good job all!

I have to agree with Jason on this. From what started as an idea on the T-3 list to reality, then carried on for the next 20 years showed some resilience that the type 3 owners wanted something for us. Thank you for hosting another one, and doing it 20 years apart shows dedication. Cool

We got home Monday afternoon. Unloaded the car and went for dinner. We spent the last night in the US with John & Jill. Went to The Ford Museum, had dinner and had a garage chat session. We went back to The Ford Museum for a quick outdoor tour of the village. Folks I will say the museum is worth the trip, but the best is the gracious hosts who after driving back from The Invasion opened up their home to us.
Sad we could not have been in our panel, but the Invasion is about meeting new friends and reconnecting with old friends. I have been asked if this was a car show and it is hard to explain that we "show off" our cars, but it is more like a family reunion .
So until the next reunion......
Contact John as I think there is a couple of the Hot Wheels left, limited run on Invasion Green Hot Wheels.

I like the description of a Family Reunion!

Those who attended, please email/message me your street address and email, so I can arrange for sending you magnets.

I have the magnets and most of the envelopes, but I am struggling to get a complete list of attendees.

Thanks!

I couldn't find it on the local newsstand so I ordered it from their website.
