So, Kenneth, are you gonna share your strategy? I still have dash lights, such as they are, but want to be prepared. On my very first x-country drive, alone, from LA to Hartford CT starting on ol' Hwy 66 in 1963, I cracked the block on my '53 Ford station wagon somewhere between Barstow and Needles, driving in the dark w/no dashlights, oblivious to overheating. Made for a really challenging trip! Happy Spring, all. Can't wait for my first camping trip in my new-to-me Westi. Gail Gail Fitzpatrick '87 GL Westi Sacramento, CA <redwood@speedlink.com>
