Don,

Regarding your comment re cross-wind problems:  I don't dare start another tire
thread here - the subject's been covered too many times.  But ... you should
make absolutely certain that you have the proper tires mounted (with correct
inflation).  Do some browsing in the archives, if you aren't sure what that
means.  Tires will make a huge difference to sensitivity to cross winds with
these vehicles.

I enjoyed your observations.  US-395 is one of my favorites.  My Vanagon
probably has the route memorized, it's been over it so many times.  Hope you
stopped to buy some beef/venison jerky in Bishop.  None better anywhere.
