Since I bought my westy I've been looking out for a group journey of
some sort along the east coast. Lets' do it! I was in newfoundland (not
in my van...didn't have it then) this october and I must say, it's
pretty rough out there. Probably better in the summer, but if anyone
does that, be well prepared and watch out for the wind. It was a big
problem for me in a toyota camry so I can't even imagine what it would
be like with a pop top.
    But it would be really neat to have a caravan up to the big meet in
canada this august...maybe start in boston and pick up members along the
way? Anyway, I'd love to help plan something of the sort. Great idea Dan!
