mobius (81 adventurewagen) is finally in shape after a long rebuild nightmare sort of thing of which i'll spare you the gory details. we'll be moving from traverse city, mi to salem, oregon for a new job and life (salt free winters!!!) on october 1. here's the proposed route: us 2 across michigan's upper peninsula (stay the first night in the western u.p.). i-35 south to minneapolis (2nd night with friends there), then down to i-90. i-90 through minnesota, and most of south dakota (3rd night just east of the badlands). continue on 90 through the black hills and into wyoming, get off on 16 and take through yellowstone (4th night just east of yellowstone). us-20 out of yellowstone into idaho, and across to mountain home (5th night). i-84 to portland, and then i-5 south to salem (6th night). throw stuff into storage locker and use the van as home base for a week, hopefully finding a decent place to live before starting work. that's the plan - any comments on those who know these areas? any driveway offers in the vicinity of where i'll be staying the night would be appreciated. but the most important thing: reputable repair shops/knowledgeable and kind vw folks along my route would be a good thing to know about, as the van seems to be running 10-20 degrees hotter (now the vdo oil temp guage gets up to 210 instead of 185) after the rebuild. any info would be much appreciated. thanks and good spirit, matthew ps - does anyone have the address to post this to the type2 list?
