East Coast Gathering of Bus-Folk

[brokedown]

It's really quickly getting closer to moving into the Bus full time. We have been sleeping in the bus exclusively for a few weeks but still have a few things we are missing. I should have the toilet done today but the shower is a a future addition. Hopefully someone at the meet up will have some sort of showering capability that we can take advantage of...

I was planning on bringing my shower. Ill hook it up outside somewhere. Open to all

That's great news! Now, who is bringing the wifi?!

[EastCoastCB]

There's wifi to a certain range. Remember- this is someone's yard!
If it were MY yard, I'd say yall all come stay all winter and we'd work on buses for months! But having a nice, big, open place to have weekend get-togethers is aways awesome.

One word of warning- you can't wussy-foot it coming up the driveway. I would NOT drive an actual big coach or low transit bus up the driveway.
I've never had a problem and OneNationUnderGoat didn't either. But its definitely worth mentioning. I'll snap a few pics if I can when I go out there today.
I'm limited as I don't actually have much of a camera or access to one currently.

I built a high gain wifi repeater that should be just the thing to make that work.

We've had a little rain lately and we've had an irrigation hose running down there lately, so its pretty good you should be fine.
I'll post a pic tomorrow, I promise.
When coming in, its a 90 degree left through a gate and then slightly uphill and sandy for maybe 150 yards or so. Then its mostly all grassy fields.
RV's have gotten up and down the driveway just fine at previous parties we've had. Some even pulling toads.
My buddy's mom's Mercedes did get stuck recently. But that thing is really low to the ground and IIRC it was more from bottoming out than anything else. Regular cars have no issues. We use my bus to pack down the driveway every so often. I'll give it a go before yall get here.

Movie night? I like it !!!
Why WiFi? Can we just use the cell 4g.

Wife and I are still deciding on what food to bring?
Is Rum Allowed?

I have a full HD projector ... I typically use a white shower curtain liner to shine it on if anyone wants me to bring it..

Will the redbyrd with its little wheeels make it down the driveway? I'm not planning on being the DEV back this trip but driving the red shorty which has little 225/70R19.5 tires on it..the ground clearance is low at the door step.

Looks good. As long as it doesn't rain. If it rains I might need a lift inside. Honda fit will drown in the mud.

We might stay at a hotel near by. Or drive the long 55 Min back home. Lol

Your fit will be fine.
We have had lots of cars. Only the $100,000 mercedes has had any issue.

I'm planning on getting a hotel nearby just because I'm not a good camp type and the red bus doesn't have any capabilities for sleep. If I brought the dev I do have a genny and portable ac or heatcandcan air mattress.. but I want to drive redbyrd down from Ohio. Right now both busses are in Ohio.

Well if you really want, there's a hotel 15 mins away, right near Starbucks. There's also McDonalds and Publix.
