Subject: Re: road trip to georgia..
Hi Chris,
Coincidence!
Just flew back from Atlanta / Montgomery to SLC, UT Yesterday.
75 degrees W/ Sunny skies in Montgomery.
But you're right, no Vanagons ???
I wanted to drive an 89 back from Sarasota, but my traveling orders didn't finalize in time
and the Vanagon was sold $5900, what a deal ! :o)
Cooler here in Utah, but Springs a comin' !!!
best,
John C...
