Chris, et al:
Along with a friend and his family, we are about to set off on our Lake
Superior circling... a two week trip with two Westies, an '83 diesel and my
'89.
Just interested in your recent experiences with weather and bugs and where
you went.  How were fuel prices?
We will be traveling counter clock-wise from Sault Ste Marie, other than
that our schedule is FLEXIBLE and relaxed.  We have the typical tour books
and plan on using the provincial and federal parks.
I will be off line for the trip starting tomorrow (Fri) morning, so a quick
reply would be appreciated.

RE: your bucking....doesn't sound like the classic Vanagon
syndrome...Intermittent fuel pump?
