Yes correct, it was supposed to be a low key thing. That started because Moab City told the Ottingers that if we camped again at the Rock Shop they would get huge fines. Sonny moved it to the Warehouse that is in the county, I was trying to help not have the event get lost forever and piss off the county. Never want the Gov’t in your shit, I think you and both know that well John by working for the Gov’t. That all changed with a Hot VWs feature, viral KCW reels and as you mentioned above, Know why that trip has gained soo much popularity? KCW, Know why Rugged Radio’s even knows this trip exists? Audrey’s reels. It has become popular because people come have a good time and share their experiences
I have never promoted the event as Westy Restorations event, only posted on your forum and on the Utah VW Camping page by creating an event. This is exactly why I created the Lin Ottinger Scenic Tours and Annual Caravan Page on FB, to keep it from the Ottinger’s not anything else. I only wanted to be the messenger, I was constantly asked by many what are the details on the Spring Ottinger event. This is why I created the FB page. I remember a time you hated FB and Instagram and only had the forum for information. Every time someone thanked me for the event I would tell them “Don’t thank me, Thank the Ottingers for continuing the event and KCW for starting this whole thing”.
Yes its long winded again, I am tired of the jabs. I have tried to be a supporter of KCW, bring business to you, hang out and be part of the crew. I feel like we are all friends but it always seems like there is always undertones of something different. Honestly I went through a lot of shit in my life about a year and a half ago and almost made a choice to no longer live. Because of this I have written off best friends, my sister, parents and others because I am tired of drama and bull shit in life. Life is too short to deal with it. Maybe the VW scene is next to fall in that line, so much drama in it. Hopefully April will be a great event, maybe it’s best for me to come get pics of Otter and head back to my family for the weekend.
