Hi,
I was thinking about how you couldn't carry a lot of part home too easily if
people flew to the west for a junkyard ecotour. They'd have to ship big or
heavy stuff home, adding to the cost, so sure, westy with a trailer !
Two thoughts on your last paragraph...............
It helps to have an SO that likes to van travel, like actually enjoys the
adventuring and driving of it, and two...
About the blahs...........have you heard of SAMe ?
It's a supplement. It's for mood, brain function, longevity and joints.
If I didn't have a 200 mg one of those each morning...............well,
quite often during the winter if find myself
thinking.............considering my circumstances I should be a lot more
depressed than I am ( which is not depressed at all ) .............it must
be the SAMe.
Here's one link describing it. I couldn't live without it. I started at
400 but now just do 200 mg a day. For me it makes a MAJOR difference in my
mood, especially in winter.

Thanks Scott:
You have a point there and now I am beginning to think that a
trip in a Westy with a trailer for parts would be a better idea.
Previous submissions about the dirth of Vanagon parts in Florida
combined with my experience of travelling in the West lead me to
believe that your idea of a trip from WARM Oregon to WET and WARM
California would be a more productive undertaking.
Now! If I can just push a small change (3 additional weeks)
past the S.O., I'll have the mid-winter blahs beat.
Thank you!
