That's crazy - we just got back from the Mt St Helen's Bluegrass Festival in
Toledo, Washington!

Only 2 Vanagons there, Dixie and Matt Snook's '84 Westy.  Matt's van was
sporting a new Kelty 'awning/side tent/thing' - what's its proper name
Matt?  My wife wants one...

Saw something like a hundred Vanagons and Bays in the trip - its prime time
for Westy's and even hardtop Vanagons with 2 kayaks and 2 bikes on top!
