I also passed this yard on the way to a friend's house in WA. Should have stopped then, was going to on the return trip, but we took a different way back.

The name of the yard is YREKA AUTO DISMANTLING & TOWING INC. Website: http://www.yourchem.com/yrekaautodismantlingamptowinginc/index.html

I left them a message regarding possible Syncro parts, but never heard back. Any other information about what they have would be interesting.

Just wondering, passed a shop/yard/who knows what on the marathon drive from Sacramento back up to Palmer AK over the last 4 days.  Blew past its exit and by the time I got to the next exit, it was under construction, and the wife wasn't really that interested in doubling back.  Checking out the google sattelite images, looks to be on S Foothill Drive in Yreka CA, right on I5.  Had probably 30-50 buses and vanagons of various years sitting there, and other VWs (the sattelite pic shows about that many.)  If it isn't owned by an idiot (common of course now days) might be a treasure trove for someone.  Heck maybe it is one of us here's shop?   Anyway, would have emailed someone there in Coos Bay who probably would have know, but of course.....   8-(   Well anyone in way north CA looking for a bus, sure looked to be the place.   John
