What a great weekend! The weather was perfect, 32 vans showed up, I gave. Away some swag, Jeff's Old Volks Home tee-shirts! A few prizes were drawn
for. I couldn't ask for anything better!
Thanks to everyone!
Jeff

It was a pretty cool weekend!
Tim from Bangor, (Timwhy) had some issues on the way and Jeff was able to save the day! He had almost 10 litres of water in his gas tank! He made it Thursday in a loaner van and was back on Friday in full form in his van!
Pigryder and Jeff will hopefully get that situation worked out with the tranny in the next few days so they can continue their tour of the province. They were able to make it holding the stick in 4th...
Meeting everyone was a lot of fun for my family and we hope to do it again!
Thanks everyone!

You are all very welcome. It was a relaxing time for sure. I'm already thinking of next years camp out! Pig rider just left here with a good used transmission installed, I had a few laying around here. A happy camper now.
Good times.

Haha…they tried the same thing with me, but Andrew let it slip when he was leaving. I think he must have been hungover and not thinking straight.

What can I say? I know! What an awesome week I had in Atlantic Canada, topped off with a piggy back ride for my Westy.
Great people these Maritimers are! Quick to help and added sarcasm to boot, my kind of people for sure!!
Thanks Jeff for saving my bacon and double thanks for all the organization you and Brian put into the weekend.
It was a strong turnout for a inaugural event!!
I had such a great time, next year I think my wife will attend from all that I have been telling her. Here are some
pics of the campout.
My Piggyback ride.
The gathering of Folk
The lineup!
Thank you again and it was great to meet such fine people!!

Collect me while you are at it - camp spot here at the MA/RI border as well. Ya'know a caravan up there is not a bad idea.
