So Harrington's in Halifax is NOT the place to take a Vanagon - they only
fix Volkswagons but wont touch a van. And they could only recommend the VW
dealer down the road for repair. Fortunately the mechanic there who had been
recommended to us pointed me down the road to Settle Auto Repair. I still
dont have the van back (they went on Holidays for a few days) but I talked
to Mike Settle there and he seems like a keen Vanagon guy. I understand that
he replaced the bell housing so it sounds to me like something that the
throwout arm connected to broke. I get more details when they return
Tuesday. So we get to spend a nice weekend and a bit in Halifax. I have seen
5 vans here already this morning. Thats always fun.

We are leaving Halifax on Tuesday (if the Van gods are pleased) and I was
wondering if anyone could suggest a place to park/stay overnight on the way
back to Ottawa. I figure to make it perhaps to Edmonston (cursed city) or
possibly Rivier-du-Loup. I dont mind just parking on a side street in some
town but since I'm green at boondocking I feel better with permission.


Thank you list,
