VW Bus Campout at Finnon Lake

Around the time that apples begin to ripen and are ready for pickin in the fall, there is a (now) traditional Finnon Lake VW Bus campout near Placerville, CA almost on the border of the Eldorado National Forest. There is a small campground next to Finnon Lake, which once was a small reservoir in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Many bay-area and Sacramento area bus people come to camp together in one place. I didn't get a chance to take too many pictures, but here are a few:


Heating water for morning coffee on the little side table.


The green camper is our friend Regis's '78 bus.


Camper busses in their native habitat - camping


Romy is looking for a nut to fix our sliding door, and he found one at the door of a neighboring bus at the camp-out. The owner of this bus makes really cool custom made tents and shelters.


This is a vanagon syncro camper. It has 4 wheel drive and can go off roading!
