Well, it was boring if you want tales of
syncro/vanagon woes.

Everything worked, though I think my driveshaft
u-joints are getting a little noisy. Engine ran nice
and cool, never passed  over the halfway point of the
temp led regardless of running a/c, stuck in traffic
on 95, or climbing around two-track in the White
Mountains in granny gear.

The compartment under the rear seat was filled with
everything up to my 1/2" sockets, Bentley and Haynes,
dunnage and spare parts. My wife said it was a waste
of space but I figured if I was prepared I wouldn't
have problems - and so it was.

First we headed up toward Lubec Maine, jaunted across
the border to Campabello, where I met Nat from Vermont
and his nearly identical silver  Syncro Westy. After
much time mucking around in the area, clamming and
blueberrying, we headed for Vermont and slowly worked
our way south after first crossing over to Burlington.


Left Jamaica VT about seven this morning and was back
home after a relaxing 9 hour drive. Passed the 105K
mark on the odometer once back in Maryland. No
problems, mon.
