Well Guys, the time has come.I've added 6,000 miles to my Bostig conversion
so far this summer!
In the time i've spent in Reno Nevada, I've helped out with 4 vanagons and a
bay window bus and befriended the local shop. It's been a great stay, but
alas the time has come to return to Pennsylvania.
I enjoyed the trip out along I-80 and sadly due to time constraints will be
limited to that route once again.

I have met some great list members along the way and several of them have
given me a place to park.
If you live in Nebraska or Iowa, within say 30 or so miles of I-80, and have
a place where a weary traveler could park for the night (and requires
nothing more), please contact me! I really dread spending evenings in
Walmart Parking lots.
I will be traveling all week next week, and plan to monitor list activity
whilst underway.
I am a willing to help with any vanagon projects that anyone who offers
refuge may need, as well as test drives in the BOSTIG powered bus.

Thanks again too the list for all your support over the years.
I've learned oh so much and have way too much experience for my age (few
people are able to say they built their car from nothing and traveled across
the country in it, twice, before turning
21). There have been many great adventures and I have many of you too thank
for it.

Sincerely Yours,
Craig Cowan
