Doesn't look like a Vanagon to me... too much hood, exhaust on the driver's
side... other items as well.

In this case, a thing a "rear engine" would not have been a good thing!!!

Thanks Volks,

Great pictures great story. I just saw a flash of the van and
couldn'treally tel what it was, though what I did see made me think
"Vanagon" - an in an awful predicament.

Glad the guy got out alive. I wonder what happened to the van,
ultimately. Not worth much after that, and a potential eyesore on the
landscape at that.
