Aw heck, Mrs Squirrel and drove my 71 Bay window up to Laguna Beach (CA) and spent New Years Eve (also our anniversary) at a hotel. Must have seen a dozen VW buses and vans of various vintages there. On New Year day we rode our bicycles up the coast from Newport Beach (CA) to Sunset Beach (also CA). It was kinda crowded on the "bike" path and after dodging kids and dogs and folk meandering aimlessly we took our return trip on Highway 1. One has a better chance of getting killed when sharing the road with motorized vehicles, but at least one can get up a good head of steam and ride for a more than a few hundred feet without getting trapped behind a phalanx of lumbering tourists.* I saw maybe five splitties cruising or parked along the route, more than a few Vanagons, and one really cherry bay window Westy parked at the state beach. Note the Vanagon content. ================ * "They must be Bolivians," my brother used to say, "because they are `obolivious.'" -- Mike "Rocket J Squirrel" Elliott 71 Type 2: the Wonderbus 84 Westfalia: Mellow Yellow ("The Electrical Banana") 74 Utility Trailer.
