Talking about needed parts, I could use the stock engine telescopic oil filler tube, I'm talking about the upper black plastic section.

Ack! I'm already down here, in Santa Cruz today , headed up to the burn tomorrow. I left my gas cap at my last fill up and van cafe is closed , so not sure where I can find a gas cap soon. If anyone coming tomorrow has a spare they'd sell me, that would be epic... I have a ups brown 85 camper with a white Yakima box and surfboard on top, three rack bars. About to get in the water at steamer lane if anyone is around. -Mike

Steamer lane will be crowded in the water tomorrow but I'm sure you will have fun anyways.

I have a gas cap with the corresponding key. Damn, I have too much, that is my problem.

I will be in an Orly blue Westy with two little ones and wife. Line X fiberglass bumpers and Rhein wheels

The passenger side taillight that I was going to bring is toast.
Madspaniard you should bring one if yours is good.

Final reminder guys. For those who plan on picking their order of tanks and/or ladders for SA, now is the time to let me know, so I can load your parts in my Doka. John W, Seth H, & Barb S, I got you covered.

I heard the number to be around 80 by 3:00.
Beautiful day with lots of friendly faces.

There over 100 vans (and Dokas) when we stopped counting. It was getting too difficult to keep track because many looked alike. Writing it down became a nightmare because people came and went all day. Pics will be posted in a centralized location once permission is obtained from people who took them. Initially, it will be on Facebook because many contributors are on FB. Account under "Van O Rama" with appropriately titled album. Eventually, they will uploaded to a photo site for non-FB users.

Great weather, lots of good people, and vans everywhere! My kids counted 35 vans right after we got there a little after noon, and a bunch more came later. The number I heard floating around was 70, but I think 80 is not too far a stretch counting the ones that had to park out a ways because Ocean Beach was packed!

Thanks to those that organized this. My family had a blast!

Here are a few quick phone photos:

Hey BlueGrasser,

May I have permission to repost your pics. If so, do you want them watermarked with your name?

Thanks,

I'd say that here was at least 100. There was a huge contingent of Syncros and even more really nice people. Thanks Ben for organizing, it was nice to meet you.
