> Anything too rough for a 2WD Vanagon?

Geza:

Don't know about Thorndike and Mahogany, but when
I was in DV in January '00, I camped one night at Mesquite Spgs,
and was the only one there.  The water/toilets were working,
but I think there was no light in the toilets.  No charge, either.

Also, I drove my 2wd air-cooled in past Teakettle Jct to
Racetrack Valley and had a great night and day with no one
else there.  I drove the third leg from Teakettle Jct
into Hidden Valley and thought it would be a wonderful place
to spend a couple of days next time.

So you can do a lot with 2wd.
