This story was in the Boston Globe today. It is about a retired columnist who rented a Westfalia in Maine and drove it up the coast.

This loosely fits your inquiry And it is a great read

We had six at Cobscook Bay State Park a week ago, all camping in the same area of the park. Two of the owners I know.

finding any vw north of bangor is rare considering that the dealer in bangor is the most north dealer in maine. i grew up in fort kent, never really saw vw's till i went to college in orono. and i'll second what was stated many times earlier, the winter/salt ruined them. that and cash for clunkers really pushed a bunch of them through the recyclers.

Buses by the Buoy always used to have quite a few Vanagons present.

^Woa, must have been out of town that day! They've updated that sign since you were there.....

Bumping an old thread to see if anyone DownEast is on here and if there are any current get togethers in the area. I just got back into an '86 tin top here on Mount Desert Island where I live with my family year round. I came to the Island in a '76 Westy that I lived in summers while working as a sea kayak guide. Met my wife in that van and here we are 2 kids and 27 years later. If you see this rig rolling around Acadia... say Hello!

Did I see you the other day? I'm in Blue Hill till about the 8th of August. Love it here thinking of relocating. Would love to meet up with some locals.

May have been me you saw... I've been daily driving my van for the past month on MDI with occasional trips to Ellsworth. I may be over your way to surf the reversing falls in my kayak in the next few weeks. If so, I'll ping you. Let me know if you're coming this way and maybe we can meet up.

I see at least two on my annual pilgrimage to MDI for research, but I'm in the EV weekender so I'm a distant cousin
