Ours is in Nova Scotia not far from the town of Antigonish. We have friends with a cottage on the water. We go for a few days every year. This past summer it was the first stop on our Westy trip.

Cheers, Brian.

Here we are parked at Picific City in Oregon, next to the Pelican Brewery. Great stop if you ever can get by there. Lots of people drive down on the beach but I wasn't feeling brave that day.

Bahia de los Angeles, Baja. Full moon, $5/night for the thatch roofed palapa. Middle of January when there was several feet of snow on the ground at home. Sometimes life is just soooooo good.

Here is my van in NJ, at the Jersey Shore. We are staying in Ocean Grove.

The first is at Seaside Park, NJ near Toms River looking back toward the mainland, and the second photo is at the Asbury Park Fishing Club,
That was as close to the ocean as I could get. It has been a fun trip and the van has been super.

Missinaibi Provincial Park, Northern Ontario, Canada

The fishing was great as well.

I'm sure you'll all appreciate this one. Here's a van that looks like my van that I spotted near Kalaloch WA while on vacation.

I was driving a rental Ford Focus along U.S. 101 on the Pacific coast of the Olympic Peninsula when I saw this one. Made me homesick. I'd have rather been driving my Westy and hope to be back in this same spot in it someday. Maybe with that Focus engine pushing it along.

it doesn't really count but since you have such a cool doka we'll let you slide. :D

where is that place?

Thu Sep 23, 2010 5:28 pm

Thanks for letting me slide. :wink:
It is in Santa Barbara. Caliente hot springs in Los Padres National forest. It is a nice long dirt road down from the ridge road. I was told about it and was happy to find it at the end of a well marked dirt road. Apparently there is another one near there but I was running out of time.
