Several have asked if we're going to do it again this year. The day that works for me would be Saturday October 20. It would be the same location as last year - Green Lane Park in Perkiomenville (a county park in a very scenic area, especially in the fall). Overnight camping is available both Friday the 19th and Saturday the 20th, or you could just come for the day. There are no electrical hookups, which can be a negative for some depending on how chilly it gets at night. (Typical is maybe 55-60 by day, mid 40's at night.) Maybe JordanVw will grace us with a visit this year! :-) I'd like to get a rough idea of whether there is interest in this on that particular weekend. If you think you'd want to attend, I'd appreciate it if you'd shoot me a quick email. If there's enough interest I'll get the ball rolling. Below I have pasted the description from last year. - Ron Salmon The Bus Depot, Inc. www.busdepot.com (215) 234-VWVW _____________________________________________ Toll-Free for Orders by PART # : 1-866-BUS-DEPOT Location: Green Lane Park, Green Lane, PA. Located in the scenic Perkiomen Valley, roughly midpoint between Philadelphia, Allentown, and Reading, PA. There is no cost to attend this gathering if you are only coming for the day, but you must pay a $15 fee to stay overnight. This fee is per day per site, not per vehicle, so if you are caravaning with someone else you may share a site. The park consists of over 3400 acres and three bodies of water totaling 870 acres. Four recreational activity sites within the park offer a variety of uses, including 50 camping sites, hiking and horseback trails, three tennis courts, two playgrounds, a nature center, an enclosed pavilion, fishing, and electric boat rentals. There are no electrical hookups on the camping sites, and pets are not permitted. The park is also the starting point for the Perkiomen Trail, a walking/cycling trail that extends 20 miles to Valley Forge National Historical Park and then connects to the Schuylkill River Trail, which follows the Schuylkill River an additional 11 miles past Boathouse Row to the Philadelphia Art Museum. The historic Inn At Perkiomen Creek, within walking distance of the campground, offers pub food, find dining, and spirits (and is also a bed-and-breakfast). No specific recreational activities are planned. However, a visit to the nearby Bus Depot (Bus/Vanagon parts specialist) is planned for Saturday at about 3:30. Also there will be a potluck dinner at 6 for those who would like to bring something along.
