All,

Every year a few of us with Vanagon/Westfalia/Syncro gather at Ocean Beach for an event known as Burning Van.

If anyone on the list is in the area and would like to join us you are very welcome! Things usually start in the afternoon in the parking lot across from the restaurant (forgot the name) and eventually end up on the beach around a bonfire. It's easy to spot us, you'll see a bunch of Westfalia Syncro and such.

There's a heat wave here right now and it's supposed to continue until the weekend. Surfing was good last weekend....

If anyone is interested please let me know.

Sounds great.... confirming that you mean Jan. 17th?

Are you on the samba as well? I'm sc-surfer over there as well. Hope to see you there.

I would love to, but between my son's baseball and basketball there is no way I can make it. Waves will be huge on Sat as a new swell peaks during the day.

Absolutely. I would love to see a couple of other different rigs.

I might be able to drop by. No VW either but I've always wanted a Syncro Camper.

Hope you guys get a good turn-out. You know you are responsible for posting pics next week, right?
