>ah, the mountains of north carolina. i've been across the united >states and have seen many a pretty area. but the north carolina >mountains are the most pristine in the US, imho. This is of interest to me, as my wife and I are about to leave on our first cross-country journey, in an 83-1/2 Westy (which Kyle at Volks Cafe in Santa Cruz is readying for us as I write this). We have the first leg of the trip planned - Santa Cruz, San Francisco, wine country (as per list member H. Steven Dolan's advice), then down to LA to visit friends, then Vegas on the way to the Grand Canyon, probably down Arizona and into Mexico for a day or two. Then things begin to get a little sketchy. We'd like to stop in New Orleans on our way back towards home (Phila. area), but haven't really decided on what route to take or what to see between Arizona and Louisiana, or between Louisiana and Pennsylvania. Any suggestions from those who have done this before? Also, would any list members feel like a short visit from a relatively young couple passing through in a Vanagon Westy? It would be nice to meet more of the people whose e-mail I read and respond to every day, and who will understand the sense of wonder and relief behind the words "the bus made it this far." -Ron Salmon
