I had actually planned on attending. It would have been my first
Vanagon outing. However if you've seen my previous posts (I even
mention missing the BBB-BRR) you know I'm currently suffering a
coolant leak (a couple I think) which is likely going to keep me from
going.

BTW, my wife laughed hysterically when I suggested the event. For some
reason she doesn't like the cold. Must be her Alabama blood.
