BenT & Burning Van Friends,

I'm just catching up on posts from Burning Van. I had a great time  There
was one other person that stopped by real quick. Her name was Chrissy (sp?)
and she has a '84 Westy, metallic brown, however she did not drive it
because she lives close enough to Ocean Beach to walk there. She didn't stay
very long. She brought a couple other friends who thought we were crazy for
gathering because we owned Vanagon.  It's OK, you just can't understand
unless you have one.

After the bonfire I stealth camped on Fulton St. along side the Golden Gate
park where a lot of other people we parking trailers.  Didn't get harassed.
Fulton is a busy street even in the middle of the night, just a little
noisy.  The next morning I drove through town at about 7:00am and absolutely
loved it.  SF on a Sunday morning is a great time to drive around because
there is no traffic. Plenty of time to drive real slow and look at all the
sites (parks, houses, etc).

Attendance Add-On
Chrissy (sp?), San Francisco, CA, 1985 Westy

Definitely waiting for the next Northern California Vanagon gathering
