I can understand you getting excited out there.  I made a trip from here in
NC to Indy, then South bend, then back through OH and WV.  Passed through
Athens on 50, but not Chillicothe.  Other than at the Formula 1 race in
Indy, I don't think I saw another Vanagon until I got back to NC.  I am not
a Heffalump though.
