I was in Yellowstone over the Memorial Day holiday, plus a few. I saw
quite a few vanagons and busses as well. Mine is a plain yellow (mustard?)
81 Transporter. I beeped and/or waved to all I saw, but I was bummed to
note that the few Vanagon Westies that passed didn't return the wave. My
children figure that Westie owners only wave to other westies as a matter
of standing :-)  Hmmmmm....

Hope you had a great time. We camped and it rained every night. However, I
always throw in a night or to in a motel at the end so I get a break <g>

Regards from Utah,

John
