Speaking of maps --- here's a link to a map that shows the locations of 141
members of the Vanagon list.

An eyeball guesstimate says that somewhere in Pennsylvania might be closest
to the mostest. Have a look and add yourselves to the map if you're not
already on it. (Make sure you click on the show all memebers link when
you're looking)

Cheers,
Doug
