EXTRA POINT
BGA is going dark for the next two days as we head off to the VW Westfalia event in southern Vermont we nicknamed "Vanagon-palooza." There will be upwards of 100 VW campers probably ranging from the early '60s to the new electric VW Buzz. With no wifi at the campground updating the site is impossible.

Unfortunately, our 1984 VW Vanagon will not be making the trip. Given our concerns about how it is running right now, we're opted to tent camp this year. It's hugely disappointing but such is life with a 42-year-old vehicle.
