I'm back from my trip to Vancouver if anyone needs me. Really nice
trip across Canada on the Via Rail Train. Three days rock-n-roll and stop &
go there & three days back. Nice dome car to look out at the lakes, trees &
mountains. Beer only allowed in your regular seat position. Pretty funny !
You gotta go to the dome car snack bar, order it then the porter brings it to
your seat. Pretty funny ! Guess their afraid the trippers might get outta
control and take over the train ! Woohoo !
Well, more to the point of Vanagons. The're all on Vancouver Island
that's why everyone's looking for them. I saw more Vanagons & Vanagon Westy
there than any place I've ever been and that includes those big Quebec club
camping events that normally bring out 300 ~ 400 Westys. Lots of buses &
Eurovans too !
Unfortunately, I did not to get to meet anyone from the List or any
other Westy owners. Rita & April outvoted me on renting a Westy to trip
around so we ended up with a low life Cavalier so drove around incognito.
Too much stuff to see and do and too little time left us with choices which
left out VW camper communions ! BooHoo !
So......now back home and work on Vanagons again seems like a world
away but here I am and a motor in a double cab awaits removal to find why
it's billowing blue smoke. Off to the garage and wrenches again and rounding
up plans for <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/BusFusion/bfhome.htm">BusFusion 2003.</A>
