I think we are going to head out around that time as well....

I wish i could go:cry:

Deb and I wont be making it this year. Our new bus is going in for paint next week. Then the motor needs to go back in. We hope to be at the swap meet at The Paluza Site. Keep it going in the shop and things get done. Hate to miss the show as it a great one. Love the river camping.

Regretfully, I am not able to go this weekend, after all. Hate to miss it.   I do have a camp site reserved at Indian Creek Campground. I have reserved site #6.

They have a 14 day cancellation policy, so I can't get my deposit back unless they fill it. If you are interested and want a great campsite, just call them up and ask for site#6. it has full hook ups (water and electric).  Their phone number is 828-497-4361 or website is www.indiancreekcampground.com.

Sorry you can't make it Jack.  You've been pretty busy the last few weekends with long distance VW trips, you're probably ready for break!

Bryce, you still planning on heading out from your place around 8am?  I checked last year's thread, and that was the same time, and we had planned to meet at the bouldercrest exit around 9:15.  Want to plan on that again?

Bob, that would put us leaving Hardees about 8:30ish again, sound ok?

Sounds good to me

Cool. Me and bob will see y'all then.

Hi guys! I saw you driving today and took some photos from my red Honda Si hatchback.
I was driving, thinking about fabricating a composite camper wondering what it might look like, and BOOM! I saw you guys all lined up. It brought me back to my growing up in Southern California days.
I've had a '56 Oval window(1776), '69 (1835), '61 (1600).

Cool man!!! The drive up was a blast. We're hanging at the campsite now. Trying to upload pics, but the connection is horrible.

On their way to Cherokee...

I tried uploading images of you guys, but I'm not sure where they uploaded too. I wanted you to see them, not the entire forum.

You're welcome to email them to me, fluxcap@hotmail.com. Though my connection sucks, so I may not be able to download them until I get a better connection.

Had a good bit of rain overnight, but I think the new rear hatch seal did much better than the old seal did at BAP as our feet stayed completely dry!!!!

Finally got a few pics to upload.

dang thats a scary rat they have up there yall have fun

Made it back home a while ago.  About 450 miles roundtrip with no issues!  Kind of a rainy weekend, and the show turnout was pretty weak, but the drive and camping made it all worthwhile.

Weren't very many cars, so I didn't get any show pics, but this guy was at the show and was awesome.

Had a great time at Cherokee show this weekend. I wasn't able to shoot any pictures at the show but here is shots of the trip there and camping.

Great pics as usual James!

This is really a fun trip! We had such a good time! Not to mention we travel with some of the BEST folks. Blessed to be with ya'll! Thanks for all the awesome pics! Chilly and BooBoo were some tired little campers! Sonia

Dang it, one of these days I'm going to get my act together and join you guys for one of these things. I made it to the Flowery Branch show last year. I couldn't make it to BAP. Here's a link to 2 photos of a trip where I finally got my wife to join us in the Westy. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=565095&highlight=dough+dude

Right after I got home from this, my fuel lines cracked. Got the replacement in, just need to get some time to replace them.

Looks like y'all had a good time regardless of turn out and rain.

Sorry you couldn't make it, that's a nice looking bus! There will definitely be more camping and shows ahead for you to join in on.

Thank you sir. I'm about to do my first engine drop. I've got my Bentley and Muir books and I've watched a couple of youtubes on it. Little nervous and excited. Now if I can catch a break between rain and football practice (and other camping trips) I'll get it knocked out...
