Ken: You must have been around busses for a few years. Most people are not
familiar with SOTO and David Heard.

Sorry about the pain. But again, many thanks for the pics. Have been several
times over the years going back to my first one in 92 when there was no OCTO
but the old SOTO event, the predecesor to OCTO. Went the last time in 07 when
I trailered my panel van out. That is some long haul trailering a bus. Have
driven my baja out a couple of times; and I don't know which is worse,
trailering a bus or driving a VW that far. Have also just flown out, taken it
all in and flown back. Gotta get up the courage to go again, maybe next year.
