I literally lol'd at that one.

I just signed up for SyncroFest in Hollister CA which will have a ton of
Vanagon/Wsty campers (89 registered so far). It's too far for me on such
short notice so I'm doing the next best thing, flying to San Francisco from
Houston and renting a late 80's Westfalia from a company there and driving
to Hollister to join in the camping fun.

Crazy i know... but we dont have hardly any camping events in Texas that Im
aware of anyways...
