Soooooooooooo...... As of 5 o'clock today, I'm officially on holidays! Saturday will be used for final packing up of the bus and making sure I have everything ready for another whirl wind tour of BC, AB, and into Sask this year. Sooooo looking forward to CamperJam this year, as there is an all time high of 50+ buses! Two bands, free beer, ( yes, I know I don't drink), friends, and good times ahead. I'm heading out early to meander my way to Golden for the long weekend, then I'll have 2weeks of touring afterwards. I'll try and keep you all posted, as to conjure up hopes and dreams of traveling in your buses in the future #callingallbuses

50+ Buses, eh? Pretty soon they're gonna have to rename it CamperCram….Sounds like you have quite the trip planned! Puttin' that Westy to good use, that's for sure. Safe travels…get Goldberg to update how it's going…Surely he's figured out how to do that by now, right?

So, another Jam has come and gone. 2017 is already in the works and it will be held again in Golden. From a small group of guys in Calgary, having an idea, involving groups from Edmonton and all over Alberta, it's grown into quite an event. Thanks to social media, and the luv of the bus, word has spread. We had a split single cab come up from California, a synco world traveling tigger striped van showed up from a recent trip from Asia, Oregon, Washington, as well as BC and Sask! Over the long weekend we had over 60 buses in attendance! I believe I counted 54 ish on Friday night, Saturday morning .... With a minimum of two people per bus, which we know there was more, there had to be 150+ VW enthusiasts there. It's a real cool way to spend a couple days wandering around collecting stories and meeting new people. There was 4 green buses over the weekend A Dorper from Cranbrook A split sc from California An old 50's panel from Van My view from my set up My set up, before everyone rolled in

It's more of a gathering of fun and relaxation. Kind of like camping at Lake Cow, VVWC style, but of course at a much larger scale. There was swag, shirts, stickers etc to buy, as well as a welcome bag given to each registers bus. A ton of fun, and yea, a lot of crazy people. So I imagine Twig, if ya went looking, you might find that, lol. I seriously hope some of you plan on making the trip next year. It is definately a lot of relaxing fun with memories ... More pics
