I visited the OCTO VW Bus Meeting on Saturday the 10th June 2017 in Long Beach California.
The meeting was organized by the Orange County Transporter Organization (O.C.T.O.) VW Club for 1967 and earlier Volkswagen buses.
The O.C.T.O 2017 was at the El Prado Show & Shine weekend and as in 2016 it was great again to see all variants of the rare T1 Split Bus.
I arrived a bit before 6:00 a.m. at the Veterans Memorial Stadium, 5000 East Lew Davis Street, Long Beach, California 90808, USA. This year is was a bit cloudy, sometimes sunny and with a bit rain. At lunch time most visitors drove home or to the great El Prado Show.
Below a selection of 81 pictures of the OCTO VW Bus Meet 2017 in order as taken.

Thanks in advance!
