Background
The
Southern California Unimog community has been holding yearly
gatherings for over 20 years. These gatherings have
been held at a variety of locations ranging from the high Sierra mountains to
the low desert near the Salton Sea. This year, for variety, the
location was in the Mojave Desert near Barstow, CA.
The chosen campsite was at the San Bernadino County Park
at the Calico
Ghost
Town. We
were in Thor (our
Mercedes 1017A
truck) that
has 4-season
living quarters
so we were
comfortable.
This year's gathering was an overwhelming sucucess. To my knowledge, other than normal mechanical issues like leaking fuel lines, etc. there was no vehicle damage nor any injuries.

Conclusions
Coordinating a large
number of participants in an event such as this is quite a
challenge. Many thanks to Joe, Alan and the other
individuals that organized this gathering and put the
thought-work into selecting a nice venue.Back to Bill Caid's Home Page.
