For all you Newby's that haven't been there this is something to see for sure and is a candy store for all you parts and tool geeks.

I've been to three of them and had a blast all three times. I wouldn't mind going back again.

Here's a shot of the Volks Folks Caravan that year (2006). Herb and Dee's Eurovan Westy leading the way (with David and Linda onboard) followed by Richard Strout in his Beetle, Kyle and Betty in the Vanagonagon and Lamar and Cindy in their Passat. The picture was made looking through Homer's dirty windshield. Seems like another club member or two went up that year, but not with the caravan.
