Buses By the Depot 
Saturday, Oct. 3, 2009! ?No cost to attend for the day!


What it is: 
A gathering of VW Bus, Vanagon, and Eurovan enthusiasts in Eastern Pennsylvania

When it is: ?
Saturday, October 3, 2009. Camping is available on-site?all weekend long, or 
you can just attend for the day. 

Where it is: ?
Green Lane Park, ?Green Lane, PA. ?Located in the scenic Perkiomen Valley, 
roughly midpoint between Philadelphia, Allentown, and Reading, PA. ?From the 
intersection of Route 63 and Route 29 (Gravel Pike) in Green Lane, travel south 
1.7 miles on Rt. 29, turn right?onto Deep Creek Road (just past the crosswalk), 
and turn right at the lake (first intersection). The campground is just up the 
road on the right. 

This scenic county park consists of over 3400 acres and three bodies of water 
totaling 870 acres. Four recreational activity sites within the park offer a 
variety of uses, including 50 camping sites, hiking and horseback?trails, three 
tennis courts, two playgrounds, a nature center, an enclosed pavilion, fishing, 
and electric boat rentals. The park is also?the starting point for the 
Perkiomen Trail, a walking/cycling trail that extends 20 miles to Valley Forge 
National Historical Park and then connects to the Schuylkill River Trail, which 
follows the Schuylkill River an additional 11 miles past Boathouse Row to the 
Philadelphia Art Museum.?

Bus Depot Warehouse Sale: 
A caravan through the park?to the nearby Bus Depot (Bus/Vanagon parts 
specialist) is planned for Saturday at around 2:30 pm. ?The Bus Depot (which is 
usually closed weekends) will open from 3:00 to 5:00. ?A large selection?of 
discontinued, distressed, and one-of-a-kind parts will be offered to attendees, 
at discounts of up to 80% or even "any reasonable offer." ?Also attendees can 
tour the Depot, look over any?products?they're curious about, place new orders, 
and pick up any previously ordered parts. (Ordering in advance is 
strongly?recommended, if there are certain items?you know you will want.)

Potluck Dinner:?
Potluck dinner will be Saturday at about 5:30 pm, for those who would like to 
bring something along to share.

Day Trip Information
There is no cost to attend this gathering if you are only coming for the day 
and not camping. If you are just coming for the day, you can park in the grassy 
area inside the small?loop shown in the below map (sites 7 thru 15). While they 
do not normally allow parking there, they are making an exception for our 
event. (If a ranger questions it, mention that it was approved by Trish and 
Ranger Rick.) ?Do not park in any of the campsites, as they are reserved for 
those who prepaid for a site and are spending the night.
?

Camping Information 
We have all of the sites around the smaller loop toward the rear of the camping 
area - sites 7 thru 15.? (See map to right.)

If you would like to camp Saturday night, the cost is?$15 per vehicle (not per 
site). To reserve, please send payment to bd@xxxxxxxxxxxx via Paypal, no later 
than October 1st. Please note your name, address, phone number, license plate 
number, and VW year/model when sending the payment. If you would like to camp 
Friday night as well,?the cost is an additional?$15 per vehicle; payment method 
the same as above. While more people camp Saturday night, there are generally 
several who camp both nights. ?

Please note, these sites are large and 2-3 vehicles can fit on each site, 
depending on the site?size. ?(If you were at previous BBD's. the park has 
redrawn the sites and made each site?larger. While the loop was previously 
divided into 18 sites, now it is divided into just 10.) The $15 does not buy 
you an entire site, just a reasonable amount of space; please share with your 
fellow campers. ?If you would like a site to yourself, please pay double ($30 
per night) and specify this in the Paypal notes. 

If you do not reserve, and decide upon arrival to camp anyway, find?Ron Salmon 
or Dan Sheridan at the campsites, and we can tell you if there are any sites 
within our loop that are still available. If not, you can get a site elsewhere 
in the campground for $35 from the ranger station.

Please note that pets and alcoholic beverages are not permitted at the 
campground. Also, the campground has no electrical hookups, so bring some warm 
blankets in case it's chilly. (There are commercial campgrounds that do have 
electric, as well as hotels and B&B's,?a short drive away. Email for details.)
