i already have four or five folk who have kindly offered local assistance
while we're on our three plus week driving trip starting on saturday.  but
we're going a hell of a long way, and i'd sure like to be able to call on
others, if necessary (sign of the "corna", pointed at the floor, to ward off
evil vanagon spirits, a gift from my half-italian wife ali).  sadly, i don't
have time to get the limbo or neato books, but will be taking a printout of
the vanagon.com repair shops.

our route, roughly, is from
1. santa cruz,ca to klamath falls, and portland,or
2. to spokane,wa, butte,mt, buffalo,wy, and custer,sd
3. to estes park, gunnison, and durango,co
4. to santa fe,nm
5. to mesa verde,nm, blanding, the burr trail, boulder, bryce, and zion,ut
6. to mono lake, yosemite, and santa cruz,ca.

any and all responses will be much appreciated, and if we can meet
(especially in non-dire circumstances), met with cold microbrews (or fabled
beverage of choice and local availability).

thanks in advance, very very much.
