Bus BOO 2010 - NEW DATES Oct 1-3 2010:
Please mark your calanders! We are very excited to report that Bus BOO, our Halloween themed campout, has been moved to the more apropos date of October 1st - 3rd. We orgianlly held Bus BOO on the last weekend Grandrogue campground was open which was two weekends after Labor Day Weekend in September. But that date always seemed to conflict with other events in Michigan. So hopefully you will find this change to be a good one for you.

Bus BOO 2010 - NEW LOCATION:
We are very excited to announce that Buses By the Beach is going back to the beach! We started out with humble beginnings at PJ Hoffmaster State Park on the Coast of Lake Michigan. We now have an opportunity to hold our event at Camp Blodgett on Lake Michigan. It is a beautiful facility with new showers and restrooms, a paved bike trail that runs along the coast between Holland, MI and Grand Haven, MI. The property also has tons of woods around the facilty to explore. Kirk Park, one of West Michigan's most picturesque beaches, is only a 1/2 mile walk or bike ride down the bike trail. This place is going to be truly amazing and we are very excited. More details about the property will be coming in future messages.

Bus BOO 2010 - Volunteer Opportunities:
Because we are going to be running this event without the help of campground personel there are going to be voluteer opportunities. Those Bus Pilots that are willing to volunteer a few hours will be able to trade their time for free camping. So if you have interest be sure to let us know. We will be send out more information on how to volunteer in upcoming messages.
