Hi all,

I am about to turn loose a very dear friend and her new Vanagon Westy into
the wilds of interstate travel. This being her first ever four-wheeled
vehicle owned, AND first Vanagon or Westfalia. I've worked extensively on
the van for most of the past month, and well....being a Vanagon and such, I
stress a bit, even though all seems just fine now. Her plan is to leave
Maryland, following loosely along the I-81 corridor south to reach I-40 and
head west toward Las Vegas, then Death Valley, and eventually the San Fran
area. I would appreciate any dependable Vanagon connections / offers of help
as needed along those routes, should any issues arise on her adventure west.
I'll forward the replies to her as I hear from you. I'd like to know that
she will be well taken care of in her 'maiden voyage' into the land of Westy
travel. Thanks very much for reading, and any offers of hospitality along
the way.
