A Drivers Challenge at Buses of the Corn
The afternoon activity on Sat at the Buses of the Corn is the Drivers Challenge.
It looks like you have to screw something into the table pull up to a stop and reverse and park and reverse some more. It is a timed event. If you look closely Frank Condelli rammed the van into the picnic table.

Syracuse VW Show 2010
There was a unique plaque for this years participants at the Syracuse VW show. It was a suncatcher complete with a suction cup hook to hang in your window.
The morning at the show was fine but the rains came by the afternoon. The hearty VW Volks hung in there right up to giving the awards. All in all it was a great show.
Congratulations to a LiMBO friend
Our friend Richard Macensky entered a Rib cooking contest and took first prize. Congratulations Rich!
For those of us who have had the pleasure of tasting some of Rich's culinary creations it comes as no surprise.
There will be an article in the upcoming newsletter with more information about the contest.
Faces of the people at West River Westies.
We always show photos of vans and VW's, but really it is the people who make our gatherings fun. Here are some of their faces.
REFLECTIONS on WEST RIVER WESTIES
You are so right, it’s not really about VW Vans and Westies, the place where it’s held, events, weather, etc but it’s the people you see in this slideshow that come together to have fun, share their experiences and generosity with others.
I think these pictures speak for themselves and Sue and I express our thanks to all who attended and volunteered help in anyway for West River Westies VII.
It is these "Volks" who through their generosity made the raffle for the Grace Cottage Hospital in Townshend a record with $600 donated this year. This brings the total donations to just short of $3000 at $2985.
Sorry, nothing budgeted for the "DeTox" Unit this year. We’ll try again and hope to see everyone again next year "On the River".

We have a new Swap Area. This is a sort of "stand alone" application. All you have to do to make a free posting is to go to the swap page, register, login, and you are ready to make a post. One of the nice things about this new area is it is very easy to post a few pictures right along with your ad. You don't have to be a limbo member either. All you have to have is a valid email address, which, by the way, is kept totally private. So, check it out, this new swap area has a lot of nice features which make buying or selling something a lot easier.
Something good.
Something good happened from a not so good thing. The Empire State VW
Camping Club
got started which was a good thing. Gas prices were high, which was a bad thing. Everybody was feeling the pinch. We liked camping together and hanging out but we didn't like the cost of long trips around the northeast to get together for events. So a few of us got together locally in New York State and started a camping club. Our goal is to bring people together to have fun discovering the great state of NY without having to travel to far. So what we did was to have a campout once a month at a campground within a convenient driving distance. It turned out that the idea was a big success. Our first event had only 5 vehicles show up to our biggest event which had 28 vehicles show up. At this time we usually have about 15 vehicles attend. Read more about it, and be sure to come if so inclined. Visit the web site at

Updated - The WHO are VW bus fanatics!! They helped celebrate the bus 60th anniversary.
Remember the WHO? Well they are VW nuts. Here are some lyrics to "Going Mobil" it really was written about his VW bus.
Well I'm gonna find a home on wheels, see how it feels, / Goin' mobile/
Out in the woods
Or in the city
It's all the same to me
When I'm driving free
The world's my home
When I'm mobile

I know the engine will fit just looking for info on where to put ...
