Folks,

Just a quick note to say my wife and i just completed our "farewell"
Minnesota Loop Tour.

Van ran flawlessly, refrigerator made ice every night for 10 days
without a hitch (a nice bonus considering the *record* hot weather we
had for the first half of the trip). GPS says we covered 1450.2 miles,
but that includes a few miles kayaking in Voyageur's National Park and
sailing once we got to Grand Marais.

We saw three other Westies on the road, one with a kayak on the roof,
but never had a chance to speak with the owners.

If anybody is interested in producing a Vanagon Calendar i think i've
got a killer "September" image. Picts can be found in three sections
starting here: http://homepage.mac.com/jspeer_mn/PhotoAlbum17.html

Best,
