Hi Evan,

It was nice meeting you. We talked briefly about your wheel set up as I was
holding my daughter. Yes the rain did come and truly it was nice to see
other Vanagons and Vws among the sea of Muscles!

Jack with the westy camped out the night before and Bob with the white 85
made it in after all of his trouble. Namely no drivers side wiper.

I keep planing on making my DIY group a success. Let me know if you care to
partake. For invitation send me an email or ask for an invite. Hope to see
what great deeds you accomplish with butternut.

Maybe next year we can get more than 4 Vangons to the cruise?

Thanks,
Tony
