Hi folks,

Just in case anyone missed me, I'm back on the list after a two week
absence.  I was so pushed for time before leaving I neglected to send a
message to the list that I was signing off, as well as thanking all of
you who sent me your suggestions for things to see and do in the great
American Southwest!

We had a great time, covered 5200 miles and most of the high spots,
including Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Indian Country of the four corners
area (Canyon De Chelley, Chaco Canyon, Hubble Trading Post, Navaho
National Monument, Monument Valley, and Mesa Verde) Albuquerque, Santa
Fe (plus Georgia O'Keefee country), Bryce Canyon, Zion NP, and finishing
up with a stop in Sun Valley just for the heck of it.

Next vacation will most likely be spending some time R&R sitting in one
place for awhile!

No Vanagon problems, my used engine ran great, but I do have some notes
on temperature and oil pressure regarding the 2.1 engine swap.  More on
this later, but suffice it to say for now that it definitely runs
hotter, and so does the oil.  I had to remove the external cooler the PO
installed due to an oil line failure the day before the trip, but I will
definitely be replacing it, and with as clean an installation as I can
come up with.

Good to be back!  (Okay, I'm lying.)
