And if someone is looking, there is a decent one for sale in the Spokane
area. Pete & Sallye Clark have had to move to more commodious quarters and
their '87 is up for sale. For info, contact Sallye at sallyeonlake@yahoo.com

For info about the Clark's adventures,
http://www.vanagon.com/journeys/inuvik/index.htm would be a good place to
start.  Pete and Sallye know VWs.

Sallye's note to Jim:
We are thinking about selling our Westy 87 with rebuilt engine and around
90000 miles.  Every thing works except the heater fan.  We have the part but
Pete is unable to install. We will include the awning and tent along with
1000 inverter (no battery) and lots of other items.  If you know of anyone
interested or??? According to Samba most are selling for 8-10M  ours is 4
speed and in really good condition.

Jim
