Hey, I forgot about that and I saw a couple of sets of Bay Window Westies
over in The Dalles on the weekend...They waved and all...I was wondering
about that, you rarely see any Vans traveling in bunches..
  I like Maupin, it's a nice little town.

We had a blast father's day weekend in Maupin at the 3rd annual Deschutes
River Rendezvous VW Meet.  Saw a few splitties, lots of bays-rivieras and
westies, a rare Canadian bay camper called a Dorper with 50k original
miles!!!, and a bunch of vanagon westies.  We were the only non-pop-top
Vanagon there.  Lots of good coffee, beer, music, conversation, tech tips,
and new friends.  Friday evening, during the potluck dinner, a tow truck
showed up with a Vanagon westy on the hook!  Shortly after dinner a few
people dove into an emergency head re-seal.  The h20/alt belt had snapped
and it severely overheated.   Anyway.  A great time.  It was our first
meet/gathering like that and we'll be at the next one I'm sure.  I'll have a
link to some pictures soon!
