It seems it is in Portland, Seattle, or areas of Cali. I think so many on
the left coast as you say because of mindset and weather. Left coast is
further from the more industrial east and the rust belt. Not to mention all
the socially concsious hippie types that migrated that way in the 60's. Not
that us Vanagon drivers are all hippies but I think we can all agree that VW
bus owners of any kind seem to maintain some of that "socially
consiousness".

Now I think that Vanagon mecca will be in Grand Rapids, MI from May
14th-17th Buses by the Beach Bus Benefit - if only for a few days :)
