We just got back (to Maryland) from Lubec an hour ago!
We were at Cobscook State Park for a week, and had a
great time.

Continuing on the Olympia WA spottingthread, saw four
vanagons around the 'hood, a crusty '91 and three
Westies, no syncros.

However, the best story was while I was sitting in the
Lyons' parking lot, a guy comes up, very tentative,
and asks if I had much experience with vanagons. A
bit, I said, so he asked my his advice about a vanagon
an elderly neighbor wanted to sell. 56K miles, body
looks very nice but air cooled. He'd only use it in
the summer so the heat thing was not a real problem,
he thought.

"Would I be overpaying if I gave him the thousand
bucks he is asking?"

"No, I told him that sounds like a decent deal. I'd go
for it" I told him.

"Well, maybe I will, he said. I'm woried about keeping
it up - the fiberglass top, keeping the stove and
fridge running."

Its a Westie, I realized. I could barely contain
myself. "Like I said, I'd go for it. "

Maybe he did, maybe he didn't. Its out there in Lubec,
folks. :)

PS: Give the Cohill Inn right at the foot of the
commercial dock a try for lunch.  A new couple took
the place over from the lameass previous owner. Good
meal and they deserve your support.
