2008 Invasion - WI? I wonder if the EAA at Oshkosh would have some suggestions - they use UW rooms up at Oshkosh for the flying event. Could maybe load up a cargo 747 at LA with Type 3s? ;-) Hershey weather was lovely - none of that hot sun as at Parma - real English summer temperatures, but without the threat of wet days. What was that? You found it chilly? Let's face it, the company is the most important bit - cars and people, I mean. I thought the fact there was something else to do in the area made it easier for Anne; she's very tolerant but 4 days in one field is stretching things if there's no other local attraction. Spectacular scenery would compensate though. She also enjoyed the varied eatery, and made full use of it, I think. Yes, the one Motel in Parma seemed to accommodate everyone who wanted that sort of place. We could do with a campsite adjacent to the Motel though. Would that work anywhere in Myrtle Creek, Brian? I missed the long drive in a Type 3 - it's not quite the same accompanying them as actually being in one. My sense of adventure is greater than Anne's, so I think 2006 may well have to be a West coast scenic tour, in a hire-car again. Steve, our youngest, did that with his friends in 2004, so I think she would like to come as well, if we haven't spent all our retirement savings by then. ;-) Ah, the event website. I liked the map and list of planned invaders. Even if some didn't make it after all, they were still there in spirit. The logo was very good - maybe the car outline became a bit too subtle once transferred to the Tee-shirts, but it was a brilliant idea, and we can all spot a Type 3 from 50 paces anyway. Not sure how easy an Oregon version will be, but there's 18 months to get working on it. Crater lake as a big VW roundel, maybe? Maps, local info all helpful. Well done, John. Dave.
