Nice trip Neil!   I like the photo of Jaco under the trees at the BLM

I've been to a few of those campsites myself.  Cape Lookout's not what it
was before 'The Storm' but its still pretty nice.  That's where we were
headed when Dixie lost a rod bearing. We arrived on a flatbed tow
truck......

We went through Craters of the Moon in summer at 112 degrees in the shade -
you picked a better time of year!

The Stanley Basin is the setting for one of the great books of the
seventies, 'Appaloosa Rising'.  Stylistically a descendant of 'The Electric
Kool Aid Acid Test' and 'Another Roadside Attraction'.

We were camping up in the hills looking for hot springs in late 1977.
Fantastic country and very isolated at the time.

Glad your Van treated you right!

Seeya, Jake

PS Bernie's probably coming down Sunday - we're going to install headlight
relays and stuff
