Funny you should mention so many Vanagons in Denver.  Yesterday I returned
home to Connecticut from Denver.  I went skiing the day before at Arapahoe
Basin.  Late season skiing; only the hard-core are left.  There in the
parking lot of A-Basin are 3 Westy's, pop tops up, skis and snowboards being
unloaded. Looked as though they had been camping in the lot.  It was cold at
A-Basin at 2:00 in the afternoon, musta been cccold in those Westys at
night.  If only I were 25 again...
