Subject:Help in SoCal asap!!!

Hi,
My '84 Westy died on a 405 off ramp, just went dead,
turn the key and nada!  Still had some juice to run
hazards etc, but no starting action whatsoever.  The
alternator light had come on but went out when I got
the beast up to speed (about 50 - 60) but would come
back on when I slowed down.  The kicker is i had
driven about 500 miles without incident from Oakland
and was only about 20 miles from my final destination
of Torrance.
So anybody in the SoCal area around about Torrance
know a good VW mechanic? Also any ideas on my problem?
 I was running the fridge off the battery while I was
driving.   I just bought this van and this is the
first time I had tried running the fridge.
TIA!
Juli
